Summary: From case cover: Zen is the inspiring true story of Eihei Dogen, the great 13th century Japanese Buddhist master. Dogen studied in China and established a monastic practice which emphasizes sitting meditation; he is regarded as the founder of the Soto school of Zen. From pilgrimages to China to armed monks at war, the Kamakura Era was a time of upheaval in Japan and saw the beginnings of both the Rinzai and Soto schools of Zen, and the arrival of tea. The country would never be the same again. Born in 1200, orphaned at eight, and initiated as a monk at age fourteen, Dogen is perhaps best known in the west for his texts Instructions to the Cook and a collection of discourses called the Shobo Genzo. He led a renaissance in practice and doctrine in Japan, and his Zen is the practical implementation of the principle of non-duality. Two key points are: there is no gap between practice and enlightenment; and, right behavior in daily life is Buddhism itself.
