“A full and precise commentary for anyone who wants to engage in serious Dogen study.”
—Norman Fischer
But what did Dogen really mean when he encouraged studying the self to forget the self? In this clarifying new commentary, esteemed Zen teacher Shinshu Roberts takes readers on a journey to understand Japan’s great Buddhist philosopher. Roberts applies her deep familiarity with Dogen’s work to illuminate the text as a unified story in which Dogen reveals the nondual nature of reality.
