Description
In this episode we discuss chapter 9 of Dōgen's Shōbōgenzō; 'The voices of the river valley and the form of the mountains' (Keisei-shinshiki). This chapter focuses on how the whole of nature functions as the 'Buddha's body' in the sense that it reveals the nature of conditionality. The chapter also explores motivation for Dharma practice and warns against using the Dharma life to accomplish worldly ends. According to Dōgen, 'we should endeavour to be unknown'.
