He was a student of Master Kodo Sawaki, an itinerant priest famous for his efforts to restore Zazen to its rightful place at the center of Buddhism. Master Nishijima was ordained as a priest by the late Master Rempo Niwa, formerly head of the Soto Sect, and has written many books on Buddhism in both Japanese and in English. For over twenty years, he has been giving instructions on Zazen and lectures in English.

[1] (10) The Real Substance of the Real Universe.

Belonging to the Concepts of the Existence, might be the losing Characteristics.

In that case the Real Existence might be difficult to be recognized.

Therefore even though the Real World is described as if it were really existing,

It seems to be very difficult to recognize as if it were really existing.

Dear Nishijima Roshi

This part reminds me of Dogen in Bukkyo:

"Do not think practice leads to the other shore. Practice exists as the other shore arriving as our practice because this practice is always this arriving of the universe."

The Truth is a verb not a noun. Real Action is all.
Is this view correct?

Thank you.
