Synopsis
This is a comprehensive collection of writings by Zen master Dogen, focusing on his work "Treasury of the True Dharma Eye", and concluding with his death poem. Dogen Zenji (1200-1253) was the founder of the Soto school of Zen and remains one of Japan's most significant religious figures.
Customer Reviews
A beautiful, inspiring work
Kaz Tanahashi and his collaborators have produced a remarkable portrait of Dogen Zenji, one of the most influential Buddhist teachers in history. The book includes several new translations from Dogen's Shobogenzo but goes substantially beyond this to include a variety of other writings from Dogen, including poems, informal lectures and Dogen's recollections of his own teacher, Rujing. The result of this is to bring Dogen much more to life than previous translations. Here we see Dogen as genuinely human, struggling with the limitations of a human life and profoundly inspired by that same life.
