Originally published in 1980.

Dogen was the founder of the Soto School of Zen and one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Japanese Buddhism. When originally published, this historical and textual study was the first to examine in detail the line of continuity between Dogen and his Chinese predecessors, through his Chinese master, Ju-ching.

 

 

Industry Reviews

"Kodera's work makes fascinating reading for anyone curious about Dogen's background in Sung China. A sterling translation of Dogen's Hokyo-Ki, supported by careful annotations and historical background material ... Happily,it has the merit of being informative without ever being stuffy. Minus Kodera's careful annotations, much about this text would remain obscure and the author's work helps to put it in proper context." - Richard Hunn, Kyoto, Kansai Japan
