Okumura, Shohaku Dogen's Extensive Record (0861713052)
Eihei Dogen, the 13th-century Zen master and founder of the Japanese Soto School of Zen, is renowed as one of the world's foremost religious thinkers. As Shakespeare does in English, Dogen utterly transforms the langugage of Zen, using it in novel and extraordinarily beautiful ways to point to everything important in the religious life.
