About this item

A tour-de-force guide to Zen Master Dogen's most subtle and sophisticated philosophical premises: that being and time are inseparable."Impermanence is time itself, being itself - yet time and being are not at all as we imagine them to be. To really understand and fully embrace this point is to live in a radically different world - a world of awakening, inclusion, and love. Zen Master Dogen frames the teaching on impermanence explicitly as a teaching about time - and all of Dogen's profoundly poetic teachings flow from his seminal understanding of time, as expressed in Uji (Being-Time) , the famous - and famously difficult - essay in his masterwork, Shobogenzo. In Uji, Dogen teaches that time itself, being itself, is luminous awakening. It is all-inclusive, all-elusive, ultimately healing, and eternal.
