The Essential Dogen by Kazuaki Tanahashi
Eihei Dogen (1200 - 1253), founder of the Soto School of Zen Buddhism, is one of the greatest religious, philosophical, and literary geniuses of Japan. His writings have been studied by Zen students for centuries, particularly his masterwork, Shobo Genzo or Treasury of the True Dharma Eye. This is the first book to offer the great master's incisive wisdom in short selections taken from the whole range of his voluminous works. The pithy and powerful readings, arranged according to theme, provide a perfect introduction to Dogen - and inspire spiritual practice in people of all traditions.
Peter Levitt is a poet, translator, and Zen teacher. He is the founder of the Salt Spring Zen Circle and has taught poetry and writing workshops around the world. He is currently an instructor at the University of British Columbia and lives with his wife and son on one of the nearby Gulf Islands.
