Zen is Eternal Life is a practical and inspirational manual for all who wish to practice Zen. Roshi P.T.N.H. Jiyu-Kennett, the founder and former abbess of Shasta Abbey, expertly combines an introduction to the basic tenets of Buddhism with original translations of the teachings of Zen Masters Dogen and Keizan. 
Translated works include: Shushogi (Training and Enlightenment), Eihei-Shingi (Rules for Junior priests), Gakudo-yojinshu (Aspects of Zazen), Shobogenzo (The Treasure-eye of the True Teaching), Kyojukaimon (Giving and Receiving the Teaching of the Precepts) by Dogen Zenji, and Denkoroku (Transmission of the Light) by Keizan Zenji.

Zen Is Eternal Life

Kiyu-Kennett, Roshi P. T. N. H.

Attributed to the thirteenth-century Zen Master Keizan (1268-1325), the Denkoroku tells of the enlightenment of the fifty-three masters, beginning with Shakyamuni Buddha and concluding with the twelfth-century Zen Master Ejyo, who was Dogen's dharma heir. Keizan explores how the personal koan (spiritual question) of the various disciples was resolved so that they fully realized their inherent enlightenment. By use of his kaleidoscopic view of Buddhist teachings, Keizan reveals the myriad ways in which the Unborn has been experienced and how these experiences relate to one's daily practice. 
The translator, Rev. Hubert Nearman, is a senior disciple of the late Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett, first Abbess of Shasta Abbey in California, and founder of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives. Prior to becoming a monk, he was a scholar and translator of medieval Japanese texts and was a recipient of a grant for his translation work from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
