It Came from Beyond Zen!: More Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan's Greatest Zen Master (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, 2)

Vol. 2 of Brad Warnerâ€™s Radical but Reverent Paraphrasing of Dogenâ€™s Treasury of the True Dharma Eye

In Japan in 1253, one of the great thinkers of his time died â€” and the world barely noticed. That man was the Zen monk Eihei Dogen. For centuries his main work, Shobogenzo, languished in obscurity, locked away in remote monasteries until scholars rediscovered it in the twentieth century. What took so long? In Brad Warnerâ€™s view, Dogen was too ahead of his time to find an appreciative audience. To bring Dogenâ€™s work to a bigger readership, Warner began paraphrasing Shobogenzo, recasting it in simple, everyday language. The first part of this project resulted in Donâ€™t Be a Jerk, and now Warner presents this second volume, It Came from Beyond Zen! Once again, Warner uses wry humor and incisive commentary to bridge the gap between past and present, making Dogenâ€™s words clearer and more relevant than ever before.
