How to Time-Be: a Dharma Talk on Dogen's Uji, Being-Time

This is a dharma talk that I gave at Just Sit zendo on February 18, 2022 on Dogen Zenji's fascicle of the Shobogenzo, Uji (Being-Time, Time-Being)

Go to any beach and mindfully “Grok” the waves. I guarantee if you persist Uji will become transparent. 🙏🏻🌈

Tricky wordplay & concepts might be easier to internalize if presented at a slower pace. Of course repeat listening is called for, at least for me. Thank you for your offering. Uji Time Being grabbed me from the first time I encountered it in Moon in a Dewdrop so having access to this is much appreciated.

This is quite wonderful and helpful to someone life myself trying to penetrate this. I have found it a bit hard to follow though because - because you’re reading this it’s a little fast and there’s no spaces no pauses - - it’s more like reading a paper than speaking to people. This is tricky stuff to hear-we need space for the words to resonate…
