(GenjoKoan - Dogen Zen - Zazen, Soto-Zen, Japan And Israel)
When all things are the Buddhadharma, delusion and enlightenment exist, training exists, life and death exist, Buddhas exist, allbeings exist. When all things belong to the not-self, there are delusion, no enlightenment, no all beings, no birth and decay. Because the Buddha's way transcends the relative and absolute, birth and decay exist, delusion and enlightenment exist, all-beings and Buddhas exist. And despite this, flowers fall while we treasure their bloom; weeds flourish while we wish them dead.
http://www.zenki.com/GenjoKoan.htm

Extractions: GenjoKoan Chapter 9 (from the book: Soto Approach to Zen) Introduction The Shobogenzo flow consists of ninety-five chapters. But when first put together it had only seventy-five chapters. Dogen revised these seventy-five chapters between 1248 and 1252. He finished this revision one-year before his death. The first chapter in this collection is the Genjo-Koan It was written when Dogen was 34 years old (mid-autumn 1233) and given to Mitsuhide Yo, a layman in Kyushu. In the Zen sect Koan means problem to be solved. The Zen master gives it to the trainee, and the trainee thinks about it during zazen. The Rinzai sect especially emphasizes the Koan, but the Soto sect does not put too much stress on it. The Soto sect lays stress on daily life; it believes that the Koan should be expressed in our daily activities. GenjoKoan deals with the Koan expressed in daily life. First, Dogen here indicates the essence of religion from his standpoint. Secondly, he expresses his basic view that original enlightenment and superior training are self-identical. Thirdly, he makes it clear that the Koan is not a formal problem but a way of life. Here he ex presses the Soto view that thorough training should be integrated with zazen and daily life. GenjoKoan especially underlines these points. Though given to a layman, this essay is very difficult to understand. Anyone who understand it will be able to grasp the overall spirit of the Shobogenzo and the essence of Dogen' Zen.
The Dyad Way To Enlightenment - Spiritual Path Based On Communication
The Dyad Way To enlightenment. Dedicated to Helping You reach enlightenment . email Bill Savoie. enlightenment? What is that? And why this web site?
http://www.dyad.org/

Extractions: Who are you? What are you? What is another? What Is life? ... What is understanding? The Dyad Way To Enlightenment "Dedicated to Helping You reach Enlightenment" e-mail Bill Savoie "Dedicated to Helping": There is a lot of confusion about what Help really is. The problem is when "Help" is given to avoid communication. In other words, I give you help, as I define it, rather than as you define it. People get into trouble giving help, since often times the person does not ask for it, and does not want it, and after receiving it is worse off. Real help occurs when both parties understand one another, and then engage in some action that benefits the person asking for help. Enlightenment? What is that? And why this web site? If we want Enlightenment we must do more than clean up our communication cycles and tell our truth, we must also protect people from unwanted contamination. We must let them be free from us. For these goals the "Dyad" was created. The "Dyad" helps one obtain -pure - clean communication without the normally attached abuse. It will allow you to really grow in your own chosen direction and connect to your deep normally hidden self. More on Dyads - communication cycles - Dyad Instructions - etc.
German Idealism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
The term German Idealism refers to a phase of intellectual life that had its origin in the enlightenment as modified by German conditions.
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/g/germidea.htm

Extractions: The Movement Characterized. German Idealism Leibniz and the Pietists. Kant's Transcedentalism. The conceptual framework of German Idealism was provided by Immanuel Kant who was the first to reconcile the conflicting empirical and rationalistic elements of the prevailing dogmatic philosophy. With one stroke he secured for mind priority over nature, and yet without endangering the validity of the principles of scientific investigation. By giving the primacy to practical reason, he placed religion and ethics on a sure footing and broke the ban of rationalism. In the first instance Kant's work was purely epistemological. He made it particularly his problem to rescue natural science from the (epistemological) skepticism of Hume, and then to rescue religion from nationalism. Kant demolished the rationalistic arguments of Anselm, Descartes, and others, for the existence of God. Science is valid, but it has to do only with phenomena. This phenomenal world, however, is produced a priori by the activity of consciousness, reacting on that external reality whose eternal nature cannot be known. The constancy of experience is accounted for by the very fact that the world as we know it is only the sum total of phenomena. This becomes the basis of the universal validity of certain principles of explanation. Space and time, and the categories of the understanding are subjective and thus ideal. Taken together they form a mold in which we shape the impressions coming from the unknowable, transcendent reality. Thus, the principles of science and the laws of nature are universally valid because they are in the subject, not in the object. Knowledge of ultimate reality comes through the practical reason, particularly through the

Extractions: Welcome Page You can't sleep your whole life away - well actually you can - but you wouldn't be here if you still wanted to do that. It begins with a simple question... "why are we here?" or perhaps "what's life all about?" or even "there's got to be more than this?" And thus the search is on. "The Search" - a spiraling, twisting, turning, rising, plunging thrill ride of an adventure. Turning over every stone, knocking on every door, running down every blind alley, cowering in the corner, shouting from the rooftops. But, in the end (mark my words) you're going to Know that which cannot be described. And all the heartaches, confusion, anxiety, depression and fear will get washed away. And will be replaced by the calm serenity that only comes from one place. Waking up in the arms of God. There are many voices within these pages and they are not shouting out the answers. They are not the Truth you are seeking. Consider them the signposts, the markers along the way. They are simply stories from other travelers on the road or those resting at the "end" of the path waiting for you to sit down and join them. These words from the others are pointers to the truth - for truth is not describable - it can only be known through direct experience. But, these voices can lead you through the darkness and into the light.

http://www.mrdowling.com/705french.html

Extractions: The Enlightenment was a movement of thinkers who believed that science could explain everything in nature. Until then, most people believed that god controlled the universe in a "metaphysical" manner. Metaphysical means "beyond physical," and suggests that it is impossible for humans to comprehend things that happen in our environment. Galileo was one of the first thinkers of the Enlightenment. Galileo used a powerful telescope to discover that many moons surrounded Jupiter. He used his discoveries to prove the Copernicus' theory that the earth traveled around the sun. The church was opposed to Galileo's discovery. Galileo was imprisoned for heresy and printers were forbidden to print and of Galileo's writings. His students continued to discuss his teachings and in time, the ideas of using observations and measurement were to become the root of modern science. The thinkers of the Enlightenment encouraged people to use science to explore nature and to question what they had always accepted without questioning. The Enlightenment encouraged people to participate in government and to rethink old ideas like feudalism and primogeniture. The American Revolution was seen by many as a huge achievement for the Enlightenment. Two hundred years ago, our Constitution provided for a government where nobody was above the law. People had freedoms of speech and religion, and the press would be allowed to print any true statement.

(Fukanzazengi - Dogen Zen - Zazen, Soto-Zen, Japan And Israel)
The true way is universal; so why is training and enlightenment differentiated?
http://www.zenki.com/Fukanzazengi.html

Extractions: Fukanzazengi (Rules for Zazen) Chapter 7 (from the book: Soto Approach to Zen) Introduction Dogen wrote this essay in the latter half of 1227 (between October 5 and December 10). He was then 28 years old and had just returned from China. His object was to popularize the Buddhism of zazen, to teach the right method of zazen, to transmit the Zen style of Bodhidharma, and to make known the true spirit of Pai-ch'ang. Text (Fukanzazengi) In meditating you should have a quiet room. Eat and drink in moderation. Forsake myriad relations-abstain from everything. Do not think of good and evil. Do not think of right and wrong. Stop the function of mind, of will, of conscious ness. Keep from meaning memory, perception, and insight. Do not strive to become the Buddha. Do not cling to sitting or lying down. In the sitting place, spread a thick square cushion and on top of it put a round cushion. Some meditate in Paryanka (full cross-legged sitting) and others in half Paryanka. Prepare by wearing your robe and belt loosely. Then rest your right hand on your left foot, your left hand in your right palm. Press your thumbs together. Sit upright. Do not lean to the left or right, forward or backward. Place your ears in the same plane as your shoulders, your nose in line with your navel. Keep your tongue against the palate and close your lips and teeth firmly. Keep your eyes open. Inhale quietly. Settle your body comfortably. Exhale sharply. Move your body to the left and right. Then sit cross-legged steadily.
