Dogen, the thirteenthcentury Zen master who founded the Japanese Soto school of Zen, is renowned as one the worlds most remarkable religious geniuses. His works are both richly poetic and deeply insightful and philosophical, pointing to the endless depths of Zen exploration. And almost precisely because of these facts, Dogen is often difficult for readers to understand and fully appreciate. Realizing Genjokoan is a comprehensive introduction to the teachings and approach of this great thinker, taking us on a thorough guided tour of the most important essayGenjokoanin Dogens seminal work, the Shobogenzo. Indeed, the Genjokoan is regarded as the pinnacle of Dogens writings, encompassing and encapsulating the essence of all the rest of his work. Our tour guide for this journey is Shohaku Okumura, a prominent teacher in his own right, who has dedicated his life to translating and teaching Dogen. This volume also includes an introduction to Dogens life from HeeJin Kims classic, Eihei Dogen Mystical Realist, with updated annotations by Okumura.
