Episode Synopsis

This episode is the second of two on the first part of "Bendowa," Zen master Dogen's essay that amounts to "Soto Zen in a Nutshell." This week I cover two more important subjects Dogen covers in Bendowa: The ubiquitous and unconditioned nature of the "inconceivable dharma," and the importance of practice in allowing us to actualize and experience it.
