Reviews

"These translations, originally published in The Eastern Buddhist journal more than twenty years ago, are the most accurate and complete renderings available. Many people have been eagerly waiting for years for these pieces to appear in a single, handy book." - Steven Heine, editor of A Study of Dogen: His Philosophy and Religion
