I’ve learned to read the obscure ((in this case dogen’s text /uji/ ) popping up links to your site) late at night, or more effective yet, attempt to sit zazen; that’ll usually send me to sleep quickly. thought I’d ask for your help translating the expression/ i shin den shin/ from the article http://www.zen-road.org/teachings/english/philippe-coupey-en/mountain-thinking/ .
