Zen Buddhism

A collection of writings on meditation practice from the most influential master in Zen history.

Spiritual practice is not some kind of striving to produce enlightenment, but an

expression of the enlightenment already inherent in all things- Such is the Zen teaching of Dogen Zenji (12001253) whose profound writings have been studied and revered for more than seven hundred years, influencing practitioners far beyond his native Japan and the Soto school he is credited with founding. In focusing on Dogen's most practical words of instruction and encouragement for Zen students, this new collection highlights the timelessness of his teaching and shows it to be as applicable to anyone today as it was in the great teacher's own time. Selections include Dogen's famous meditation instructions; his advice on the practice of

zazen, or sitting meditation; guidelines for community life; and some of his most inspirational talks. Also included are a bibliography and an extensive glossary.
