Eihei Dogen, who lived in Japan in the early 13th century, was a Buddhist priest, writer, and founder of the Sōtō school of Zen.
In this video lecture, Bussho Lahn offers both a historic view of Dogen and a personal one. All mystics invite us to engage with their teachings not just intellectually, but also intimately and personally, through our hearts. This video is a reflection not only on why Dogen’s teachings matter within his tradition, but also on how, even centuries later, mystics like Eihei Dogen can profoundly shape our own spiritual journeys.
