Dōgen Zenji (道元禅師; also Dōgen Kigen 道元希玄, or Eihei Dōgen 永平道元, or Koso Joyo Daishi) (19 January 1200 – 22 September 1253) was a Japanese Zen Buddhist teacher born in Kyōto, and the founder of the Sōtō school of Zen in Japan after travelling to China and training under the Chinese Caodong lineage there. Dōgen is known for his extensive writing including the Treasury of the Eye of the True Dharma or Shōbōgenzō, a collection of ninety-five fascicles concerning Buddhist practice and enlightenment.

Biography

Early life

Dōgen probably was born into a noble family, though as an illegitimate child of Minamoto Michitomo, who served in the imperial court as a high-ranking ashō (亞相, "Councillor of State").. His mother is said to have died when Dōgen was age 7.

Great Master Dogen?
Q. Great Master Dogen enjoined us to 'let go of body and mind naturally'. If I can do that, am I a success? If I can't do that, am I a failure? Mesun - Gassho

A. Pass through success and failure and see your original face before you were born.

Is the female Spirit, that of "life giver" in conflict with this quote from Zen Master Dogen?
Q. "To study Buddhism is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things. To be enlightened by all things is to be free from attachment to the body and mind of one's self and of others." We should understand that the Goddess resides in all women, sadly in most ...hidden.

A. When the Spirit is one is there male and female spirit! The hidden spiritual energy that is dormant/resides in man & women is female. Om mani padme Hum

Q. Could anyone locate the comment about Dogen Einstein or Asian descendent?
Asked by V R - Sat Mar 8 12:53:45 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Do you mean eihei dogen zenji? The founder of the Soto (T'sao Dong Ch'an) lineage of Buddhism in Japan? What comment? You're not very clear. Is THIS the comment? "Mind and body dropped off; dropped off mind and body! This state should be experienced by everyone; it is like piling fruit into a basket without a bottom, like pouring water into a bowl with a pierced hole; however much you may pile or pour you cannot fill it up. When this is realized the pail bottom is broken through. But while there is still a trace of conceptualism which makes you say 'I have this understanding' or 'I have that realization', you are still playing with unrealities."
