Genjo Koan — The Koan of Everyday Life
Self-Paced Course
Zenki Roshi's line-by-line commentary makes Dogen's intricate poetic writing accessible by emphasizing embodiment and application in daily life.
The Genjo Koan is often considered the pivotal text of the Soto Zen tradition. It can serve as a key to all of Dogen's other teachings. It was composed nearly 800 years ago (in 1233) yet it has a timeless quality and is surprisingly relevant to our lives as practitioners today.
