Kathie Fischer & Kaz Tanahashi: 07-20-2014: Dogen’s “Time Being” Sesshin (Part 3)

Summary: Episode Description: In this talk, Sensei Kaz remarks upon Dogen’s great breakthrough, as perhaps the first person in history to notice a new category of nonduality: namely the nonduality of being and time. He examines further what this vision entails, and muses on different cultural constructions of time. Sensei Kathie picks up on the theme of time and mind, or mental constructs, showing how what might seem like unmediated experience of time is actually laden with metaphor: how might our time metaphors be different if we were trees, or sea sponges? Then for several minutes she evokes a most delicate, tangible sense of what it is to live in the bottom of the belly as an antidote to fragmented mind..
