Cover; Contents; Introduction: Dogen Studies on Both Sides of the Pacific; PART ONE: Textual Studies; 1. Textual Genealogies of Dogen; 2. What Is on the Other Side? Delusion and Realization in Dogen's "Genjokoan"; 3. "Just Sitting"? Dogen's Take on Zazen, Sutra Reading, and Other Conventional Buddhist Practices; 4. A Day in the Life: Dogen's View of Chan/Zen Lineage in Shobogenzo "Gyoji"; 5. Dogen's Approach to Training in Eihei koroku; PART TWO: Historical Studies; 6. Dogen Zen and Song Dynasty China.
In this groundbreaking collection of essays edited by Steven Heine, leading scholars of Buddhism from both sides of the Pacific explore the life and thought of Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of the Japanese Soto sect. Through both textual and historical analysis, the volume shows Dogen in context of the Chinese Chan tradition that influenced him and demonstrates the tremendous, lasting impact he had on Buddhist thought and culture in Japan. Special attention is given to the Shobogenzo and several of its fascicles, which express D?gen's views on such practices and rituals as using supranormal powers (jinzu), reading the sutras (kankin), diligent training in zazen meditation (shikan taza), and the koan realized in everyday life (genjokoan). Dogen: Textual and Historical Studies also analyzes the historical significance of this seminal figure: for instance, Dogen's methods of appropriating or contrasting with Chan sources, as well as how Dogen was understood and examined in later periods, including modern times. This book is a crucial contribution to the advancement of specialized studies of D?gen, as well as to the Chan/Zen school in the context of East Asian religions and their social and historical trends.
