1. 1. The Wholehearted Way

   A Translation of Eihei Dogen's Bendowa with Commentary by Kosho Uchiyama Roshi

   

   A concise translation and practical commentary on a foundational Zen essay, it explains wholehearted zazen (shikantaza) and the unity of practice and realization. Through straightforward guidance and a classic Q&A section, it addresses doubts about meditation’s purpose, the accessibility of practice for laypeople, and the meaning of Buddha-nature, while offering clear instruction on posture, attitude, and integrating practice into daily life. Emphasizing a no-gain approach and gently releasing thoughts, it shows how awakening is expressed in ordinary activities and community.
