Please buy a copy of Ehei Dogen Mystical Realist by Hee-Jin Kim from your favorite book seller.
Zen Master Dogen was possessed with an astonishing combination of poetic facility, and spiritual and philosophical insight. His commitment to conveying the principle that enlightenment is available to everyone in every moment shines through his writings.
The single most comprehensive book on Dogen’s teaching is Ehei Dogen Mystical Realist by Hee-Jin Kim. In this ten week course, which is designed for people who already have some familiarity with Buddhist philosophy, we will discuss Dogen's teaching on creativity, actional understanding, time, Buddha Nature, the bodhisattva ideal, and the problem of good and evil. Here’s a chance to digest the teaching of the most important figure in the development of Soto Zen Buddhism.
