In this essay Dogen presents his unique idea on Time. Although Dogen has touched on this subject elsewhere, he gives it the most detailed treatment in Uji.Dogen wrote Uji in the early winter of 1240 when he was 41 years old.At that time he was staying at Koshoji in the suburbs of Kyoto.

In my perusal of Dogen’s teachings, I’ve run across “Uji,” his mind-blowing essay about the nature of time.Several people have translated “Uji,” and just by reading the different translations, Zen students can get varying perspectives on Dogen’s teachings.
A Quick Description of Dogen, His life and accomplishments by Prof. Masunaga Reiho from the book 'Soto Approach to Zen': Dogen profoundly expressed the essence of Zen. In his biography it is said that Dogen had great doubts about reality and ideals when he was 15 years old, and he visited Eisai in an effort to solve this problem. Dogen later studied under Myozen, a disciple of Eisai.
Judging from an essay written by 13th-century Zen master Eihei Dogen, misogyny in Japan at that time was rampant. Monks did not want to bow to nuns, arguing that they had lower spiritual faculties than men and that their femaleness was an obstacle to attaining awakening.
Zen Master Dogen frames the teaching on impermanence explicitly as a teaching about time—and all of Dogen’s profoundly poetic teachings flow from his seminal understanding of time, as expressed in Uji (Being-Time), the famous—and famously difficult—essay in his masterwork, Shobogenzo. In Uji, Dogen teaches that time itself, being itself.
Being-Time thoroughly explores Dogen's teaching on how we practice as Buddhas by understanding the relationship between being and time as it is—and as we perceive it to be. Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (The True Dharma Eye, Being-Time), Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the.
My being “here” is also my being in “this time.” If in Dogen’s chiliocosm all space interpenetrates, each locus intimately and immediately connected with every other locus, the same goes for time. All times interpenetrate and reflect all others, past, present and future.

Heidegger's Being and Time 4 1. Introduction 1 In this seminar I shall be concerned with Heidegger's Being and Time. I shall refer to other works by Heidegger, but the discussion will center on Being and Time. In reading the book, some of you, especially those with a reading knowledge of German.
This essay will explore the deep resonances between Ende's view of time in Momo and the Buddhist perspective on time, particularly as expressed by the Japanese Zen master Dogen (1200 - 1253). These resonances are of more than literary or historical interest: understanding what Ende and Dogen have to say about time gives us important insight into how we experience time today.
