115 - Dogen's Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings - Part 4 - Beneficial Action
The Zen Studies PodcastAbout this episode
In this episode I continue our study of 13th-century Zen master Dogen's essay, "Bodaisatta Shishobo," or what I'm calling the "Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings." I cover "beneficial action," which means to use skillful means to benefit beings without discriminating among them, considering their near and distant future, and to do so selflessly.
