Summary: Episode Description: In this class Norman discusses the first few lines of Dogen’s “Space,” especially the line, “the whole body of skin, flesh, bones and marrow hangs in empty space.” He leads a meditation on experiencing these skin, flesh, bones, and marrow, and appreciates how when one simply sits as a body in space, the body actually is precisely space. He further examines the larger sense of “our body” as the most intimate experience of space and time: are they inert containers of objects and events, or more like seamless, emergent dimensions thereof? Finally he praises the vast, inextricable twin qualities of space and silence that compose the support and substance of experience. For Series description and Teacher BIOs, please visit Part 1.
