Nonduality in the Zen Tradition, Kazuaki Tanahashi

An excerpt of the Interview with Kazuaki Tanahashi featured in the SAND Anthology vol. 5.

Tanahashi's translation and commentary on "Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: Master Dogen's Shobo Genzo" is a masterpiece. It is very comprehensive. I love this book.

Moon in a Dewdrop is a masterpiece translation of many of Dogen Zenji's writings. If you practice Zen (or non duality) it will serve you well to study this text. For me personally and as a bit of advice, Zen (particularly Soto Zen) is the most direct gate to understanding and more importantly experiencing non duality. Its a word, a concept, but not really that. And so when the word is insufficient we have practice (practice enlightenment). Give it a try.

thank you for connecting Vedic tradition to Dogen in a line

The "student" is teaching, that makes you a master Kazuaki

Nice to hear authentic zen keyed to the Vedas, however much reinterpreted it has become. Still the same after all.

."What exists] is now, all at once, one and continuous... Nor is it divisible, since it is all alike; nor is there any more or less of it in one place which might prevent it from holding together, but all is full of what is. (B 8.5–6, 8.22–24)" Parmenides the creator of western philosophy

"Non-duality in the Zen Tradition"
~~~ "Zen is anything done thoughtlessly!" - Bodhidharma
Duality is thought/ego!
There you go! ;)

To Talk of Truth Before
you Have Experienced It,
Always leaves you looking,
Like
(a Looking
a drawing of a Banana
You are the Right Odor, Shape, and size, but You remain unpeeled in A Drawing and You Have Not Tasted t he Inner Truth, of which You are seeking
, or you are just Drawing It Prettily with Your Mind. Zen Banana

I see all life as cycles of life All never ending. Only re-cycling. Like the Zen brush circle. Only where the circle begins and ends, it is slightly off center and even overlaps. This overlap is where the contraction is the new expansion after sharing/receiving the information of all other cycles. The center of the overlap is the singularity and either side is the duality. This overlap is the great inefficiency of life. 'Ego'. Tornadoes, no pain/gain, Kali-Durga, tortoise/hare,   supernovas, hick-ups, mistakes, .  All life is this imperfect perfection of evolution.

The question “What is Zen?” is impossible to answer.

How does an "enlightened" person know they are enlightened?

[ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

This guy talks too much and doesn't really say anything.

[alfredhitchcock]

Even he is confused with all the bullcrap he’s learned from fake gurus. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, that’s the only thing certain. He’s quite unsure of what he’s teaching.
