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

Readers should be aware that these topics come up in many places within Katagiri Roshi’s talks, not just within these series.

These lists will be updated as talks are transcribed.
