This volume continues the work of a recent collection published in
2012 by Oxford University Press, Dogen: Textual and Historical
Studies. It features some of the same outstanding authors as well
as some new experts who explore diverse aspects of the life and
teachings of Zen master Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of the Soto
Zen sect (or Sotoshu) in early Kamakura-era Japan. The contributors
examine the ritual and institutional history of the Soto school,
including the role of the Eiheji monastery established by Dogen as
well as various kinds of rites and precepts performed there and at
other temples. Dogen and Soto Zen builds upon and further refines a
continuing wave of enthusiastic popular interest and scholarly
developments in Western appropriations of Zen. In the last few
decades, research in English and European languages on Dogen and
Soto Zen has grown, aided by an increasing awareness on both sides
of the Pacific of the important influence of the religious movement
and its founder. The school has flourished throughout the medieval
and early modern periods of Japanese history, and it is still
spreading and reshaping itself in the current age of globalization.
