Synopsis:
This first comprehensive study of Zen master Dogen (1200-1253) has served scholars, students, and general readers as the principal English-language reference on his life and thought. Robert Aitken Roshi, author of The Mind of Clover and other writings on Zen, offers additional insight into Dogen in a new foreword written expressly for this edition.
Review: "One of the chief strengths of Kim's book is the author's clarity of vision, his ability to make the particularities of Dogen's life and the difficulties of his thought if not easy at least comprehensible. . . . An ideal place to begin an investigation of this important and complex figure."—Journal of Japanese Studies
