About this listen

A tour-de-force guide to Zen Master Dogen's most subtle and sophisticated philosophical premises: that being and time are inseparable.

Being-Time thoroughly explores Dogen's teaching on how we practice as Buddhas by understanding the relationship between being and time as it is—and as we perceive it to be. Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (The True Dharma Eye, Being-Time), Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the text, giving examples how we apply Dogen's complex teaching to our daily lives.

I am very sensitive to voice sounds. That is why I don't do guided meditation. But I would use this voice. If you are also sensitive to the intuitions that underlies the book explanations of Dogen, you will find it inspiring. 🙏

Beautiful voice. Deep diving.

I rarely leave reviews but this book and audio presentation is deep and moving. I read it slowly. Digested it slowly. It’s amazing. Thankyou master Dogen and Shinshu Roberts for creating this work. 🙏🏾

Wonderful slow read
