Summary: Excellent Introduction To Dogen's Integral Thought
Comment: Dogen may very well be the most important master in all of Zen history, next to Shakyamuni of course. This particular book is a translation of portions derived from Dogen's masterwork, Shobogenzo. I would suggest purchasing with this "Enlightenment Unfolds: The essential teachings of Zen Master Dogen" by the same author, it's somewhat like a follow-up. Also beneficial readings come from many of the works out there from the late modern master Taizan Maezumi. This book offers clear translations of some of the most central aspects of Dogen's fascinating style of Zen (still one of the predominant schools to have survived to date). One of the previous reviewers mentioned this book's wonderful glossary of terms, to which I must agree; It's at once extensive and dense. If you are looking for a really accurate (as well as fairly easy to read) book on Dogen Zenji aside from the entire Shobogenzo itself, don't look any further. Your needs are all met right here. Enjoy!

Summary: Most poetic, accessible translation, great glossary!
Comment: I have read many translations of the essays in Dogen's SHOBOGENZO and each one offers it's own gifts. This volume is the most accessible (including gender-inclusive), and the most poetic I have read. Especially gentle and beautiful is the translation of Dogen's essay called BAIKA (Plum Blossoms). MOON IN A DEWDROP also has by far the best glossary of Zen terms used by Dogen; in fact I often consult it as a help to reading other books about Zen. There is a very important guide to Dogen's Zen called THE ESSENCE OF DOGEN by Masanobu Takahashi -- along with MOON IN A DEWDROP, the two books together open Dogen's teaching almost effortlessly.

Summary: Most poetic, accessible translation, great glossary!
Comment: Dogen is my spiritual father in Zen, not because I am special, but because he is -- as small as I truly am, he always makes me feel comfortable in his literary presence, and so I have been able to learn so much from him. I have read many translations of the essays in his SHOBOGENZO and each one offers it's own gifts. This volume is the most accessible (including gender-inclusive), and the most poetic I have read. Especially gentle and beautiful is the translation of Dogen's essay called "Baika" (Plum Blossoms). MOON IN A DEWDROP also has by far the best glossary of Zen terms used by Dogen; in fact I often consult it as a help to reading other books about Zen. There is a very important guide to Dogen's Zen called THE ESSENCE OF DOGEN by Masanobu Takahashi -- along with MOON IN A DEWDROP, the two books together open Dogen's teaching almost effortlessly.
