1) In his article, Bodiford describes several “practical” benefits of preserving and enhancing the memory of Dōgen for the temple Eiheiji. How do these benefits, as well as the image of Dōgen (re)crafted in the Tokugawa era, counter or oppose images of Dōgen in earlier centuries?  2) Think broadly: What does the utility of a religious image mean for writers and readers in a Zen context?

パンデミック下で私たちが日々向き合い、また失敗と発見を繰り返しながら導き出そうとしている”New Normal”とオンライン化する日常コミュニケーション。 このリモート時代において、これまで生活の基軸として捉えてきた「身体性」や「生の感覚」「体験」とは一体どんなものなのか。 また、今後、あらたな知覚として発展する可能性のある、リモート時代における「身体感覚」とはどんなものになるのか。 仏教、舞踏・身体表現、アート＆テック等、様々なクリエイティブな現場で（パンデミック下においてもアクティブに）ご活躍の皆さんをお迎えし、トークセッションを開催します。 また、セッション後半は、co・ikiの実験リモートレジデンシー“Creativity from HOME”　（http://co-iki.org/en_US/events/creativity-from-home/　）に参加している各国クリエイター（シンガポール、インドネシア、香港、ウクライナ、ナイジェリア、オーストラリア、日本）やディスカッション参加のみなさまを交えてセッションします。 （後半ディスカッションはPeatixかFBにてご予約ください。日英通訳ありますので日本語onlyでもお気軽にどうぞ💡） ☞Zoomディスカッション予約 はこちら: https://co-iki-talk-session.peatix.com/ 世界的なウィルス蔓延から早8カ月超。 この機会に一度振り返る時間を各国・各業界のみなさんとシェアし、日々の暮らしや仕事にフィードバックしていただければとおもいます。どうぞお気軽にご参加ください😊 After the serious virus outbreak, we've been trying to create the New Normal with the help of technologies.

[thechadude-blog]

Hey everyone :) The last 2 1/2 days before arriving here in Kanazawa (horray) I stayed in Fukui, prefecture of the dinosaurs. Sorry for the delay, but I didn’t have proper Internet the last days :(.  To be honest one day more in a quite rural area wasn’t the most productive of things planned but I enjoyed the one day I took myself to just relax in my hotel room and do nothing extraordinary. It was just me, convenience store food, a book, music and the internet all day... So a nice day to digest all the experiences I made over the last days (and I also got to skype with my parents which was nice) :). The next day I grabbed a hold of myself though and made my way to a big highlight  of this whole trip: Eiheiji ! Eiheiji is a temple located deeper in the mountains near Fukui (ca. 40 mins via bus) and one of the main training temples of the Soto school of zen buddhism. The ride there alone was astonishing! Mountains and streams flowing through valleys filled with big ceder trees and small villages, just everything my heart desired <3. When I arrived at the bus station the first thing that greeted my was a big souvenier shop, followed by more of the same kind and hordes of tourist. It wasn´t as bad as some places in Osaka though and the temple itself was quiet and nice. Massive trees and statues of boddhisattva enshrouded by moss and nature greeted me as I walked torwards the entrance of the actual monastery. After I paid the entrance fee and gave my stamp book to the nice people signing it, I started the roundwalk around the buildings.   To wander through these corridors I heard so much about was really wonderous. I could feel all the care the monk-trainees, which were also always present, put into cleaning and maintaining the buildings and floors. The gardens inside the monastery were pretty impressive aswell.  After my visit I took the next bus back to my hotel, where I enjoyed another quiet evening ^^. The next day I again took the express train, but this time to my final destination, Kanazawa! The text about my first days will follow soon, so stay alert ;D. Gunnar

Buddhism in Japan [#2]

The first branch of Zen tradition that we will take a closer look at is the one established by Dōgen Zenji, Sōtō Zen School.

Also known as Dōgen Kigen (1200-53), he was ordained as a Buddhist monk on Mt. Hiei. At the age of 23, he left for China in search of ‘the true Way of Buddha.’ There he discovered the practice of zazen (’seated meditation’ 座禅), which became the main focus of his preaching. After coming back to Japan, he left for the mountains of Echizen, where he established in 1244 one of the two head temples of Sōtō Zen - Eiheiji. His most prominent work is ‘Shobogenzo Zuimonki’

Keizan Zenji (1268-1325) - was the 4th ancestor in the Japanese Sōtō Zen lineage. In contrast to Dōgen Zenji, whose main focus was an exploration of the internal self, Keizan Zenji looked outwards and boldly spread the teachings. He also emphasised the equality of men and women by promoting his female disciples. In 1321 he founded the second head temple Sojiji, which was moved to Yokohama after being burnt down during the Meiji period

In contrast to Rinzai Zen School, which had the support of many powerful people, including the shogunate, the Sōtō Zen School had adherents mainly among wealthy families in the rural districts

Head Temples

Eiheiji Temple (’The Temple of Eternal Peace’) - located deep in the Echizen mountains, in northwest Japan. The land was offered to Dōgen by Yoshishige Hatano, one of his most devoted lay followers. To this day, one hundred monks continue to practice his shikantaza (’single-minded seating’ 只管打坐)

Sojiji Temple - it is an internationally open temple for Zen practice located near Yokohama city. On its extensive grounds educational facilities such as a university, high school and junior high school are located. One can see how these two temple complexes differ and how both of them strive to emulate their founders’ teachings

Tengshing Kazama

I am a Japanese Zen monk and contemporary artist. Born in 1979.

My reason for paralleling monk and artist is to discover the common challenges and values of art and religion and to re-present the interplay between them.

The focus of my theme is "A methodology for gathering and enhancing the faith contained in religious institution." and "The foundation of faith internalized in customs and culture." and the physicality that is deeply related to both of these contents.

In order to derive the uniqueness of art in Asia, his installations and art projects highlight the "history of nations and peoples" and the "spirituality behind the expression".
