Dogen
Dogen writes, "There is nothing, not a single moment nor a
single dharma, that is not part of life. There is
nothing, not a single matter nor a single state of mind,
that is not part of life."
– Shobogenzo, by Dogen, translated by Nishijima
and Cross, the essay Zenki (“All Functions”). Dogen
(1200-1253) was a Japanese Zen Master and the founder of
Japanese Soto Zen.
And, with respect to prajna (Sanskrit for "real wisdom"
or "intuitive reflection"), bow to Dogen: for his essay on
the Heart Sutra in Shobogenzo (the essay
Maka-Hannya-Haramitsu) and the various ways he looks at
prajna, in that essay. Tractable,
traceable-untraceable material. It is through the
study and initial practice with Rinzai Zen that I’ve been
able to step to the stage of to appreciate, work with, and
penetrate Dogen’s Soto Zen.
Again, here I'm relying on the version of Shobogenzo
translated by Nishijima and Cross, zazen, and the
everyday. |
The Domains Of Life
In my terms set, 'the domains of life' refers to six categories: the mental, the existential, the social, the societal, the experiential, and the physical.
Each of these terms is important; and each is interconnected and interdependent with the other; this seems to be a universal fact of the human, and perhaps all sentient beings. Additionally, there are 'the various key categories': the philosophical, the religious, the spiritual, the everyday, the relational, and theory-praxis-thought-applied. Then there is the dialectic between the universal and the everyday.
Each of these is key to my set of ideas here, and integrated, and with differentiation, they become strong, adept tools for inquiry, if one can see in to them in this way.
Mvo-p Also Refers To:
This idea and reality-description within a thesis of mine.
I plan to take it further.
I have moved my Mvo: 2019 Thesis, that I first published
elsewhere, to this site. Each of the above can be seen,
within that thesis, to apply to the domains of life (my term): the
mental, the existential, the social, the societal, the
experiential, and the physical – part of the 'all of the
above' that I indicate as so key, in that thesis.
I plan this website to go beyond the thesis, however, to paint a
picture for the individual and friends about what the domains of
life can look like.
Each of the above mvo-p's can be a noumenon (a 'thing of
reason'), can be seen as interconnected with the others, and
dimensioned out. One should see if there is reality to each
of these and their interconnected, dimensional nature.
This is meant to provide insight and functional awareness, for
any individual who assesses it on its merits and can benefit.
The Mvo-p Idea
I derived the mvo-p idea from my own experiential-observational,
insight, and perception. It is very much informed by my own
interpretation and realization of Zen, my several influences, this
world, the world-space we might see, and the everyday. Each
individual may be able to bring his or her own perspective and
insights to this – and that’s what is also meant.
