Index
Steven Heine is an authority on Japanese religion and society, especially the history of Zen Buddhism and the life and works of Dogen. He has published two dozen books, including Did Dogen Go to China? (2006), Zen Skin, Zen Marrow (2010), and Zen Masters (2010).
"This is a fine collection of ten essays on the Japanese founder of
Soto Zen, Dogen (1200-1253), who is both an important figure in
Japanese Buddhist history and, through his interpreters, a major
influence in what can be called modern global Buddhism."--Religious
Studies Review
"Steven Heine has for decades been one of the West's leading
scholars in Dogen studies, publishing translations of Dogen's
poetry, reflecting on Dogen's philosophy and setting straight the
historical record on Dogen. In recent years, many new translations
of Dogen's writings have appeared and scholarly publication in the
field of Dogen studies has grown dramatically. To bring order to
this new scholarship, Heine has brought together in this volume an
impressive
collection of state-of-the-art essays from leading Dogen scholars.
They represent the leading edge in new textual and historical
research in Dogen studies."
-- Victor Sogen Hori, author of Zen Sand
"This well-conceived volume includes numerous essays that will
serve the study of Dogen far into the future."--Buddhadharma: The
Practitioner's Quarterly
