Comment on Dogen’s Extensive Record Now 40% Off. by Ed

I did break down and buy this. Very happy I did. It’s a lovely hardback, and thick enough that, if thrown with adequate force by an annoyed roshi, would bust open the head of many a Zen pilgrim. The sewn-in bookmark and luxury endpapers are nice touches. And the translated discourses, based on the few I’ve skimmed, go deep rather than long. It’s just Dogen sitting around with what were no doubt his adoring if slightly terrified students, shooting the shit and blowing their little minds open. Plus, an intelligent and helpful introduction and notes.

Looking forward to many years of bemused head scratching.

Comment on History in the Making? by Clive

If the bhikkhuni ordination is a hindrance to practise rather than an aid then one could ask “What about monks?” Is there any need for them to follow more than the 10 precepts?

If the answer is that, with the proper motivation, men benefit from following the bhikkhu vows, then the same goes for women and full ordination.

Whether this ceremony is technically correct is beyond my knowledge but from what I have read, it seems as if the ordination is valid even if a minor infraction was made by the monks participating.

Was this the best way to approach this issue? That will be seen over the coming years I guess. However, I think that we should accept that both sides in this argument are sincere and not just acting for selfish reasons.
