The monks' study hall (or,5 literally, "assembly hall") behind the sōdō, where monks study, rest, or drink tea at assigned places during breaks. It is structured like the sōdō in terms of seating assignments and configuration. The seats are on narrower platforms than in the sōdō, since they are not for sleeping, and instead of cabinets for bedding, at the end of each monk's platform is a small desk for study materials. Instead of Manjushri, the shurya has Avalokiteshvara enshrined on the central altar. 70,80n. 30, 109-15, 116n. 1 +

The Latter Age of the Dharma, when only the teaching, and not the enlightenment and practice of the True and Semblance Ages [shōbō and zōhō] remain. According to this theory, which was popular in Dōgen's time, in the Semblance Age only practice and teaching are available, and in the Latter Age (considered to have already arrived) only the teaching still exists. Although Dōgen sometimes uses this theory of Buddhist history in exhortations, elsewhere he discounts its validity, affirming that the whole of buddha's practice and enlightenment is always available. 117n. 13 +

Chinese character used for dharma, a Sanskrit word, referring to the teaching of reality (often implying the Buddhist Dharma or teaching); the truth of reality itself; the elements of that realm of reality; and this teaching as means or path to align with that reality. This character also is used for the ordinary meanings of method, procedure, model, custom, or manner. Dōgen often conflates these two realms of meaning, for example to indicate that manners are teachings of reality. 101n. 7 +
