We're back tomorrow with our study of Shobogenzo Genjokoan!
Zazen begins at 9am CST, followed by the Dharma talk around 11:10am.

This week, we will investigate the lines:
"The boundary of the known is not clear; this is because the known [which appears limited] is born and practiced simultaneously with *the complete pe*******on of the Buddha Dharma.
We should not think that what we have attained is conceived by ourselves and
known by our discriminating mind.
Although complete enlightenment is immediately actualized, its intimacy is
such that it does not necessarily form as a view.
[In fact] viewing is not something fixed."

"In the same way, when a person engages in practice-enlightenment in the
Buddha Way, as the person realizes one dharma, the person permeates that
dharma; as the person encounters one practice, the person [fully] practices that
practice.
これにところあり、
[For this] there is a place and a path."
