Dogen's Manuals of Zen Meditation

Zen Buddhism is perhaps best known for its emphasis on meditation, and probably no figure in the history of Zen is more closely associated with meditation practice than the thirteenth-century Japanese master Dogen, founder of the Soto school. This study examines the historical and religious character of the practice as it is described in Dogen's own meditation texts, introducing new materials and original perspectives on one of the most influential spiritual traditions of East Asian civilization.Bielefeldt, Carl is the author of 'Dogen's Manuals of Zen Meditation' with ISBN 9780520060562 and ISBN 0520060563.
