[ 'oōjē ] noun / verb

1. 13th-century Japanese word (宇治) for 'time-being' or 'being-time' : all being is time, and all time is being

"You may suppose that time is only passing away, and not understand that time never arrives. Although understanding itself is time, understanding does not depend on its own arrival. 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, on the first day of winter, in the first year of Ninji (1240)
