As Shakespeare does with English  Dogen utterly transforms the language of Zen  using it in novel and extraordinarily beautiful ways to point to everything important in the religious life.  He is known for two major works. The first work  the massive Shobogenzo (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye)  represents his early teachings and exists in myriad English translations; the second work  the Eihei Koroku  is a collection of all his later teachings  including short formal discourses to the monks training at his temple  longer informal talks  and koans with his commentaries  as well as short appreciatory verses on various topics. The Shobogenzo has received enormous attention in Western Zen and Western Zen literature  and with the publication of this watershed volume  the Eihei Koroku will surely rise to commensurate stature.  Dogens Extensive Record is the first-ever complete and scholarly translation of this monumental work into English and this edition is the first time it has been available in paperback. This edition contains extensive and detailed research and annotation by scholars  translators and Zen teachers Taigen Dan Leighton and Shohaku Okumura  as well as forewords by the eighteenth-century poet-monk Ryokan and Tenshin Reb Anderson  former abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center - plus introductory essays from Dogen scholar Steven Heine  and the prominent  late American Zen master John Daido Loori.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665890730037,"sku":"ByrdShop_0861716701","price":65.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780861716708.jpg?v=1782413021","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dogens-extensive-record-a-translation-of-the-eihei-koroku-9780861716708","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
