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 +

To feel appropriate delight and enjoyment when participating in practice; a Buddhist term for the joy of engaging in beneficial activity, including ceremonies and other formal practice activities. It is derived from the Lotus Sutra, chapter 18 "The Merit of Appropriate Joy," which describes the zuiki of the bodhisattva upon hearing the Dharma or upon seeing others' good deeds or resultant happiness. In the sutra, the bodhisattva Maitreya says in agatha, "After the World-Honored One's passage into extinction, / If there is one who hears this scripture / And if he can rejoice appropriately [zuiki], / How much happiness shall he obtain?" 203n. 151 +
