N2 - The current paper deals with the question of faith and enlightenment as presented by Dogen (1200—1253), founder of the Japanese Soto Zen School. Buddhism, as any religious tradition, distinguishes between popular notions of faith and belief on the one hand, and traditional or doctrinal notions of practice and enlightenment (aka practice leading to enlightenment in the case of Zen schools of Buddhism). Dogen himself is famous for equating the two; for stating that Zen practice is already identical with enlightenment. The aim of the present paper, therefore, is to shed light on the concept of faith in Dogen’s writings as well as to elucidate possible connections between faith and practice, belief and enlightenment, based on various chapters in Dogen’s Shobo genzo.
