Fallen Flowers Never Go Up the Tree

Shohaku Okumura
9 Talks on Shobogenzo Daigo

Recorded during the Fall 2008 Genzo-e Retreat in Bloomington, this CD contains Okumura Roshi's lectures on Shobogenzo Daigo ("Great Realization"). This chapter of Shobogenzo is essential to a study of Dogen Zenji's understanding of satori (variously translated as: "awakening", "enlightenment", "realization", "understanding"), a term that has been defined with many differing interpretations in Zen literature. Here, Okumura Roshi guides the listener through Master Dogen's poetic discourse leading us beyond the dualities of delusion, awakening, sentient beings, buddhas, time, eternity, practice, and true reality itself.
