07/24/2024, Gengyoko Tim Wicks, Kim Kōgen Dai-Hō Hart and Dōshin Dan Gudgel, dharma talk at City Center.
In the final week of this four-part series, Gengyoko Tim Wicks leads a discussion of Yanguan’s statement to the assembly, “Living beings all have buddha nature” — and Dogen’s radical re-imagining of what this phrase means. In the discussion, Tim touches on the distinctions we make between sentient and insentient beings, and what those mental categories have to do with Buddha nature. According to Dogen, Yanguan may not have even understood what he himself was saying!
