| Abstract | Zen Without Compromise, with guts and immediacy, is unique among translations of this Zen classic. Sometimes irreverent ancient classic, the Fukanzazengi is a short basic text on how to practice zazen, written by the Master Dogen in 1227: * Fukan means recommended for everyone. This is not an esoteric work limited to priests and monks * Zazen is the practice of sitting meditation. Gi is law or principles. Venerated within the Zen tradition, this text is recited in Zen temples, and, though brief it remains a source of inspiration and guidance for both beginners and advanced students as it has for centuries. Dogen invites the practitioner to give up intellectual understanding and simply direct light inward. He lists the ideal physical and psychological conditions to enhance practice and details the posture, the method of breathing, the position of hands "all very simple and practical. Dogen’s work is based in the teaching of the Buddha, and what’s new here that the text has been put into everyday English, and given a contemporary context by the author.
It doesn’t matter whether you are intelligent or stupid. There’s no difference between a dull and a smart person. Sincere concentrated effort is, in itself, the Way. -- Dogen |
