Abstract | Revitalized interest in "the virtues" has affected the study of Buddhism in recent years, and in this regard we may benefit by focusing on the Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253). Seeking to describe Dogen's moral virtues, we might begin by a study of his primer, the Shobogenzo Zuimonki; a particularly efficacious template for this project would appear to be one provided by Edmund L. Pincoffs in his book Quandaries and Virtues: Against Reductivism in Ethics. This modus operandi reveals Dogen's exhortation of a broad array of mandatory and nonmandatory virtues, partially depending on whether or not the intended recipient is a layperson or one leading the religious life. If valid, this description may benefit Dogen Studies as well as contribute to, and encourage, other "Western" efforts to articulate Buddhist ethics. |
