Popis: Contemporary climate of globalism and globalization makes us wonder about the human capacity of openness to the otherness and the somnolent ways in which we handle contraries and gather things in an order. This paper will address a vital importance of the nondualistic vision and intertwining of the opposites for safeguarding a common space of coexistence and discourse between each other in a heedful dialogue with the Shōbōgenzō (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, 正法眼蔵) written by the thirteenth-century Japanese Zen Master Dogen (道元, 1200–1253). We will trace issues of emptiness, language capable of expressing nondualistic awareness and mindfulness to the vital importance of holding the contraries in balance, and remark a great deal of promise and relevance which his thought of Vast Emptiness (śūnyatā, 虚空 ) holds to the recreation of the world for the benefits of all.
