Title: The Zen poetry of Dōgen
First published: 1997
Description: Although best known for zazen meditation, Dogen felt that poetry could act as a complement to the enlightenment experience, and this collection beautifully confirms this belief. Dogen scholar Steven Heine provides clear and revealing translations that capture Dogen's unique voice, echoing the master's Zen naturalist and aesthetic philosophy. More than a collection of enlightened poetry, this collection will appeal to both students and non-students of Buddhism alike.
Subjects: Translations into English, Zen poetry, Japanese poetry, translations into english, Criticism and interpretation
