Zen has often been portrayed as being illogical and mystifying,
even aimed at the destruction of the rational intellect. These new
translations of the thirteenth-century Zen master Dogen--one of
most original and important Zen writers--illustrate the rational
side of Zen, which has been obscured through the centuries,
tainting people's understanding of it.
"Rational Zen " consists of enlightening selections from Dogen's
two masterworks, "Treasury of Eyes of True Teaching" (the famed
"Shobogenzo," Japan's most sophisticated philosophical work) and
"Universal Book of Eternal Peace," which until now has been
unavailable in English. The translator also provides explanations
of the inner meanings of Dogen's writings and sayings--the first
commentaries of their kind of English. A compendium of authentic
source materials further enhances the reader's insight into Dogen's
methods, linking them to the great classical traditions of Buddhism
that ultimately flowered in Zen.
