Abstract
The paper deals with everyday practice in monasteries of the Sōtō Zen lineage ranging from their employment in medieval Japan until present day Western environment. About ancient practices we read in the works of Dōgen, the founder of the school, as he has handed them down to his students and followers in his numerous writings. From the various texts we learn Dōgen’s ideas about everyday monastic practices such as daily sits (zazen), chanting of the sutras (kankin), walking meditation (kinhin), work practice (samu), as well as various procedures (sahō) for ritualizing other aspects of everyday life. In his writings, however, we also learn about sūtra study and about contemplation on the case study, i.e. kōan study (kanna), which are monastic practices usually understood in connection with the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism. How did this development continue and how did the modern Sōtō Zen school come to terms with these practices will be the topic of the present paper.
