Description
This collection of essays, Shôbôgenzô, presents a thorough recasting of Buddhism with creative ingenuity. Composed in the thirteenth century by Dōgen, it is a landmark work that has never been matched in Japanese Zen literature.
Thomas Cleary's translation of thirteen of the ninety-five essays brings this influential text to a wider audience. The book includes commentary, biography, and notes to provide context and insight into Dōgen's writing. This edition makes accessible a significant work once considered private reserve of Sôtô monks and Buddhologists.
Readers from various fields in the sciences and humanities will find themselves richly rewarded by this translation of Shôbôgenzô, offering a unique perspective on Buddhist philosophy and its relevance to contemporary thought.
