"At last I visited Zen Master Nyojo of Dai-byaku-ho mountain, and there I was able to complete the great task of a lifetime of practice. After that, at the beginning of the great Sung era of Shojo, I came home determined to spread the Dharma and to save living beings, it was as if a heavy burden had been placed on my shoulders....I will leave this record to people who learn in practice and are easy in the truth, so that they can know the right Dharma of the Buddha's lineage. This may be a true mission."

"The water is clean, right down to the ground, Fishes are swimming like fishes. The sky is wide, clear through to the heavens, And birds are flying like birds. ...children and grandchildren of the Buddhist patriarchs should unfailingly learn in practice that sitting in Zazen is the one great matter. This is the authentic seal which is received and transmitted one-to-one."

"The first Patriarch, the Venerable Bodhidharma, after arriving from the west, passed nine years facing the wall at Shorin-ji temple on Shoshitsu-ho peak in the Sugaku mountains, sitting in Zazen in the lotus posture. 
From that time through to today, brains and eyes have pervaded China. The lifeblood of the first Patriarch is only the practice of sitting in the full lotus posture."

In this new translation from the Sanskrit of Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika, the author seeks to interpret this important Buddhist text through the teachings of Dogen Zenji as found in the Shobogenzo. 
The book is in three sections. The introduction to the book comprises a discussion of the basic principles taught by Nagarjuna and Dogen, which includes discussions under the headings of "The Abstraction of Reality," "The Buddhist State - Action at the Present Moment," "The Four Views in Nagarjuna and Dogen," "Division of Reality into Subject and Object," "Existence and Non-existence - The Mutual Opposition Between Two Views in Early Buddhism," and information about the translation process, which includes an explanation of the most important Sanskrit terms. 
Part I then contains an interpretative version of each verse of the translated text, with a detailed chapter-by-chapter commentary that focuses on the main thrusts of Nagarjuna's arguments. 
Part II presents a complete translation of the Mulamadhyamakakarika, comprising the Sanskrit verse, a complete vocabulary for the verse with a grammatical analysis, followed by a rigorously literal translation into English. The book contains frequent quotations from Dogen's Shobogenzo, fully referenced to Windbell Publication's 4-volume edition of this work.

301 koan stories collected by Msater Dogen during his years in China. Master Dogen used many of these stories as the basis for his formal lectures in his major work, the Shobogenzo; they record conversations between Buddhist masters and their students. Shinji Shobogenzo includes many well known koan stories, with many interesting and less familiar ones, together with the comments of a contemporary Buddhist master renowned for his clear and no-nonsense approach.
