Essential Dogen: Writings of the Great Zen Master | Dogen

2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

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."

The Essential Dogen: Writings of the Great Zen Master | Kazuaki Tanahashi, Peter Levitt

so-so

Lately, in moments of indecision, I have been choosing books on my Audible wishlist that have unlocked with my membership; The Essential Dogen was the oldest thing on there.

It made for a nice listen: driving to work with Brian Nishii‘s luxurious voice in my speakers, me occasionally catching a nugget of wisdom, or a perfectly composed haiku as the sun cast golden highlights on the edges of the cumulus in the brilliant blue sky.

Essential Dogen: Writings of the Great Zen Master | Dogen

I started at a new company two weeks ago and am feeling a bit muddled and discombobulated. I find that the period after an achievement is always confusing for me. It was time to pull this one from the archives for some grounding. This version is rich and approachable, flowing with wisdom and insights. It's nice to have such a touchstone to refer to. This will fit in right next to my Beginner's Mind, by Suzuki Roshi.
