Katagiri Transcripts
This website carefully transcribes the dharma talks of Dainin Katagiri Roshi as a reference for the study of Soto Zen Buddhism. For more information, see the Introduction.
The Talk List page lists the talks that are present in the online audio archive, with links for the talks that have been transcribed.
Some of the series of talks that Katagiri Roshi gave are:
- Blue Cliff Record
- Diamond Sutra
- Fukanzazengi: Dogen’s Universal Recommendation for Zazen
- Karma
- Lay Ordination Lectures
- Platform Sutra
- Shobogenzo Genjokoan
These lists will be updated as talks are transcribed. Readers should be aware that the topics above come up in many places within Katagiri Roshi’s talks, not just within these series.
Please note that these transcripts are a continuing work in progress. Corrections and improvements are made on an ongoing basis.
Katagiri Roshi’s talks are used with permission of Minnesota Zen Meditation Center.
