There is a genuine link here between Dogen and Heidegger; neither accepts objective presence as adequate to characterize the reality of things. Heidegger polemicized throughout his life against the philosophical and the commonsense view of things as static, objectively present objects. Dogen's Zen experience gave him access to a dynamism at work in things that completely escapes the average person.

when things are not seen as objects, the person looking ceases to be a subject. The whole structure of experience alters, shifts. This is a form of "exertion," of "practice."

the real affinities between Dogen and Heidegger lie not in their explicit conceptions of being and time, which are actually quite disparate despite the striking verbal similarity between Being and Time and uji (being-time), but in conceptions such as sustained exertion and perdurance, thinking, gathering and the Fourfold.
