Reviews

This excellent volume sheds new and corrective light on Dogen and the Soto Zen tradition. Exploring a rich array of topics--Dogen's views of meditation, women, poetry, and death; his standing as a philosopher; distinctive Soto approaches to texts, precepts, liturgical practices, robes, and monastic architecture-the contributors bridge the divide between textual analyses of Dogen's thought and scholarship on institutional facets of Soto Zen. A must read for anyone with a serious interest in Zen. --Christopher Ives, author of Imperial-Way Zen
