Sesshin Lecture 1966 Tape #2; Track 1 Continuation and completion of 1pm lecture of Suzuki Roshi, Thursday. Looks like whole of this is lost, except near end and parts on other tape. Most of it was translation from Shushogi by Dogen Zenji
This talk primarily focuses on the translation of "Shushogi" by Dogen Zenji, a foundational text in Zen Buddhism, as part of a Sesshin lecture. The speaker discusses an important concept about the mind, emphasizing its non-arising and non-perishing nature from the "endless beginning," linking this to broader themes in Zen thought. The talk contains fragmented concluding remarks due to the partial loss of the recording.
Referenced Works:
- "Shushogi" by Dogen Zenji: This text is central to the lecture, serving as a pivotal reference for discussing the nature of the mind in Zen practice. It is part of Dogen's larger work, "Shobogenzo," and is instrumental in conveying the teachings of non-arising and non-perishing.
Other Mentioned Works:
- A book by Robert King: Although mentioned multiple times, the connection to the main topic of Zen philosophy is unclear and appears unrelated to the central thesis of the talk.

It looks like the second portion of this tape has been lost, except for the very end. But if not, the middle sentence that's lost in switching to this tape is, This mind does not arise or perish from the endless beginning. And then the lecture begins, hopefully. .
