Rev. Shinshu’s presentation is like having tea with a wise and generous friend and listening as they share the words of their teacher, confident those words will bring you joy and ease on your spiritual path. With “Being Time: A Practitioner’s Guide to Dōgen’s Shōbōgenzō Uji” Rev. Shinshu expresses the essence and vital practicality of one of Dōgen’s most profound teachings. She illustrates with a clear and personal style (and with confident experience incorporating Dōgen’s way into her own life) ways to approach “the big questions”: how do we fully engage our life in this world at this very moment? What is our karmic responsibility to our ancestors in the future? How do we transform our relationship to a perhaps difficult past so that it doesn’t hinder our life now? And what might be the most important question: how can we greet with openness and compassion that clerk at the grocery store who always has an attitude?This is a great book for anyone engaged in the Zen path, no matter how long you’ve travelled with Dōgen as your companion. I would absolutely recommend it to someone who is just beginning to explore Dōgen’s teaching. And I am confident that I will turn to Shinshu’s generous book over and over again, and look forward to renewing tea and conversation with her about her understanding of “Uji” and being-time many “times” in the future.Rev. Shinshu expresses it beautifully:“Even if we cannot completely understand Dōgen’s teaching, it will still impact our practice. His vision of life is vast, poetic, and concrete all at the same time. Sometimes it feels as if we are hanging on to a dragon’s tail, like a prayer flag flapping in the wind. We don’t know what or how, yet we just hang on, making our effort. This is just the nature of being a prayer flag waving from a dragon’s tail. No problem.” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Profound and clearly written. *by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024* What is time? What is space? What is self? What is reality? What is enlightenment? When?Profound expository. The best I've seen. Very slow reading. As often as I had to reread a sentence, a paragraph, a page, a chapter - I can't see how it could be deeply gasped by listening to an audiobook. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great help for the practice *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018* I knew this would be a mind opener after reading the forward which suggested it may challenge how I view things. This book explains well (and clearly) how to put into practice ideas about responding with skill to our surroundings. The references and footnotes have brought out new ideas and given me food for future reading on Dogen. Thanks to the author for using clear language and explaining ideas in word pictures that sink in. Her ideas cause insightful questions/problems on how I view things/time in a linear way. These problems could make my head explode, but most likely will only make me grow my compassion as a human. I will read this over for sure, and gift it to those who care to expand their practice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Being-Time: A Practitioner's Guide to Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji - Opening the Hand of Thought: Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice - The Zen Teaching of Homeless Kodo --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62597331-being-time-a-practitioners-guide-to-dogens-shobogenzo-uji](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62597331-being-time-a-practitioners-guide-to-dogens-shobogenzo-uji) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
