112 - Dogen's "Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings" - Part 3 – Loving Words

The Zen Studies Podcast

I continue study of 13th-century Zen master Dogen's essay, Bodaisatta Shishobo, "Four Ways Bodhisattvas Embrace Living Beings." In Episode 105 I gave an overview of the essay and defined the bodhisattva's four "embracing actions:" practicing nongreed, loving words, beneficial action, and "being in the same boat" as other beings. In Episode 106 I took us through the part of the essay on nongreed, or giving. Today I cover the section of the essay on loving words, or kind speech.
