[ 'oōjē ] noun / verb
13th-century Japanese word (宇治) for 'time-being' or 'being-time' : all being is time, and all time is being.
"People only see
time's coming and going, and do not thoroughly understand that the
time-being abides in each moment. This being so, when can they
penetrate the barrier? Even if people recognized the time-being in each
moment, who could give expression to this recognition?"
– Eihei Dogen (1240)
