Dogen's Extensive Record : A Translation of the Eihei Koroku

Eihei Dogen, the thirteenth-century Zen master and founder of the Japanese Soto School of Zen, is renowed as one of the world's foremost religious thinkers. Like Shakespeare does in English, Dogen utterly transforms the langugage of Zen using it in novel and extraordinarily beautiful ways to point to everything importnat in the religious life.
