Editing Dōgen (section)

===Time-Being===
Dōgen's conception of Being-Time or Time-Being (''[[Uji (Being-Time)|Uji]]'', {{lang|ja|有時}}) is an essential element of his metaphysics in the ''Shōbōgenzō''. According to the traditional interpretation, "''Uji''" here means time itself is being, and all being is time."<ref>"Uji: The Time-Being by Eihei Dogen" Translated by Dan Welch and Kazuaki Tanahashi from: ''The Moon in a Dewdrop; writings of Zen Master Dogen''</ref> ''Uji'' is all the changing and dynamic activities that exist as the flow of becoming, all beings in the entire world are time.<ref>{{harvp|Dumoulin|2005|p=89}}</ref> The two terms are thus spoken of concurrently to emphasize that the things are not to be viewed as separate concepts. Moreover, the aim is to not abstract time and being as rational concepts. This view has been developed by scholars such as [[Steven Heine]],<ref>{{harvp|Heine|1985}}</ref> [[Joan Stambaugh]]<ref>{{harvp|Stambaugh|1990}}</ref> and others and has served as a motivation to compare Dōgen's work to that of Martin Heidegger's "[[Dasein]]".{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} [[Rein Raud]] has argued that this view is not correct and that Dōgen asserts that all existence is momentary, showing that such a reading would make quite a few of the rather cryptic passages in the ''Shōbōgenzō'' quite lucid.<ref>Raud, Rein.
