Coles Did Dõgen Go to China?: What He Wrote and When It at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Dõgen (1200-1253), the founder of the Sōtō Zen sect in Japan, is especially known for introducing to Japanese Buddhism many of the texts and practices that he discovered in China. Heine reconstructs the context of Dõgen's travels to and reflections on China by means of a critical look at traditional sources both by and about Dõogen in light of recent Japanese scholarship. While many studies emphasize the unique features of Dõgen's Japanese influences, this book calls attention to the way Chinese and Japanese elements were fused in Dõgen's religious vision. It reveals many new materials and insights into Dogen's main writings, including the multiple editions of the Shōbōgenzō, and how and when this seminal text was created by Dõgen and was edited and interpreted by his disciples. This book is the culmination of the author's thirty years of research on Dõgen and provides the reader with a comprehensive approach to the master's life works and an understanding of the overall career trajectory of one of the most important figures in the history of Buddhism and Asian religious thought.
