106 - Dogen's Shishobo: The Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings – Part 2
The Zen Studies PodcastAbout this episode
In the last episode I introduced an essay by Zen master Dogen called Bodaisatta-Shishobo, or the Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings. I briefly defined the bodhisattva's four embracing actions: Giving, kind speech, beneficial action, and "sharing the same aim." Then I started working through Dogen's essay line by line. In this episode I finish the section of the Shishobo on giving.
