That each person has an inherent capacity for awakening, or an already awakened consciousness or Buddha Nature is at the heart of the teachings of Dōgen Zenji, the founder of Sōtō school of Zen.
Michael guided our exploration this week of some of the pathways by which Dōgen invites us to discover our own Buddha Nature right in the midst of ordinary life.
Michael read excerpts from the Genjo Koan (Genjōkōan), which you can read here.
Other translations include one by the San Francisco Zen Center or this more scholarly exploration of various translations.
