Dogen the Fraud

The next time somebody gets a chance to talk to Bielefeldt, here's what we would want to pin him down on:

1. FukanZazenGi, it's text and it's content, didn't come from Rujing.

2. Rujing is Dogen's only claim to legitimacy as a dharma heir of Rujing.

3. How is it that Dogen is a Caodong Master?

Then:

1. The creator of the Mormon religion, Joseph Smith, claimed he got golden tablets from Jesus who visited him in the 1800's.

2. The creator of the Soto religion, Dogen, claimed he got practice-enlightenment from Rujing.

3. Since there is no evidence for either of these claims, and solid evidence against both these claims, why would Joseph Smith be considered a follower of Christ, or Dogen be considered a follower of the Zen lineage, regardless of what their followers believe?

Let's use our access wisely people. Focus on facts.
