Product Description

Product Description

"Bendowa", or "A talk on wholehearted practice of the way", was written in 1231 and conveys Dogen's teachings of the practice and symbolism of zazen - seated meditation. This translation includes an introduction on the place of "Bendowa" in Dogen's writings.


From the Author

Dogen's ecology of meditation, with earthy commentary
This is Zen Master Dogen's primary writing on the inner workings and ecology of meditation. Included in the book is an extensive, down-to-earth, and entertaining commentary by Uchiyama Roshi, an important modern Japanese Soto Zen master.

Blanche Hartman, Abbess of San Francisco Zen Center, says:
"This book will take Dogen Zenji's teachings on practice/ enlightenment into the 21st century. ... presented with such clarity and precision by Shohaku Okumura and Taigen Dan Leighton that we enter Dogen Zenji's presence as though in dokusan."
Carl Bielefeldt, Stanford University Zen scholar, says:
"A fine introduction ot the spirit of Zen, both past and present. Dogen's famous text on Zen practice comes alive. ... The translation well captures both the sense of Dogen's original text and the clarity and humanity that have made Uchiyama Roshi one of the most attractive Zen teachers today."

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and illuminating, 3 Sep 1998
By A Customer
The organization of the book was exceptional. The commentary did not interfere with the translation, as occurs with many books of this type. One could simply choose to read Bendowa with or without the commentary.
