2018., Wisdom Call No: NEW 294.385 U17d Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Commentary on a beloved ancient philosopher of Zen by a beloved contemporary master of Zen. Eihei Dōgen was a thirteenth-century Buddhist poet-philosopher and founder of the Soto school of Zen. Famously insightful and famously complex, his writings have been studied and puzzled over by generations of students. Kōshō Uchiyama was a beloved twentieth-century Zen teacher and author of over twenty books, who here addressed himself head-on to unpacking Dōgen's wisdom for a modern audience. Translators Tom Wright and Shōhaku Okumura present three fascicles of Dōgen's monumental Shōbōgenzō, or Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: "Shoaku Makusa" or "Refraining from Evil," "Maka Hannya Haramitsu" or "Practicing Deepest Wisdom," and "Uji" or "Living Time." For each one, they lovingly translate Uchiyama's thoughtful commentary on the piece. At turns poetic and funny, always insightful, this is Zen wisdom for the ages.
