BEING-TIME, Six Classes


  • Milwaukee Zen Center 2825 N Stowell Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211 USA (map)

“Dogen's word being represents all sentient beings existing in the formless realm of timelessness, and time characterizes the existence of completely independent moments. Being and time work together, so Dogen does not separate them; he uses the one term being-time.”

This quote form Dainin Katagiri illustrates the Buddhist teaching of time which is different from our usual concepts of reality.
Norman Fischer says: “Time is the lock – and the key - to Buddhist teachings”

This six-week course will dive into this great mystery that is so close to us humans and still misunderstood. With Dogen Zenji and Katagiri Roshi’s help we may come to a deeper understanding.

Study Text: Dainin Katagiri’s Each Moment Is the Universe. Zen and the Way of Being Time

The class will be taught in the zendo with zoom attendance.
Fee: $50 (membership discounts apply)
