I’ve put up my translation of Dogen’s Uji in MS Word, HTML, and PDF formats. In English it’s called “Some Moments”. This is Dogen’s exploration of what time is.

I’ve spent a great deal of time on this over the last several months, but still don’t feel the level of confidence that I do about my other translations. Something is just not clicking. Basically, this essay is hard. I feel that this translation is somewhat in the nature of a draft. I hope that I can come back to it sometime with a deeper understanding and do a final translation.

At the same time, I think my translation may be more accessible and convey more than previous translations which is why I’m taking the libery of putting it up.
