Dogen died today – 754 years ago

Japanese religious leader (Zen Buddhist) Dogen was born on January 19, 1200 in Kyoto, Japan. He said, “Do not arouse disdainful mind when you prepare a broth of wild grasses; do not arouse joyful mind when you prepare a fine cream soup." [Perhaps it lost something in translation.]... Dogen died in 1253 in Kyoto, Japan.
