Tonight, I am going to explain about the gyoji mentioned by Shogun Kenji. In English, we have used the words practice. But in Japanese, there are a variety of expressions concerning practice. Particularly, Dogen explains our practice. In this chapter, we use the particular word, gyoji. Gyoji is literally action or deed.

I think this action and deed have the same meaning as the practice that we have used. So this action or deed is religious. It is what we call practice. It is like a human call to speak or to mention. It is like a human call to speak or to call something in your hand. In Japanese, gyoji is like a teacher's help or help for his students. It is like a call to speak or to call something in your hand.

It is like a human call to speak or to call something in your hand. So our practice is to teach students how to practice in a religious way of practice. That is the meaning of our practice. The fourth is what we call what to do. What to do after you have learned a good thing. Gyoji is like a teacher's help or help for his students. It is like a human call to speak or to call something in your hand.

The fifth is what we call what to do after you have learned a good thing. Gyoji is like a teacher's help or help for his students. It is like a human call to speak or to call something in your hand. If you feel the Gyoji is too easy to get in your life, you should try to change it. The main thing that you should also change this Gyoji is how you put out the Gyoji. The Gyoji is not a Gyoji. The Gyoji is not a Gyoji. We call putting the Gyoji, the Gyoji, Gyoji, Gyoji. The fifth is what we call what to do after you have learned a good thing.
