“This book will take Dogen Zenji’s teachings on practice/enlightenment into the 21st century. … presented with such clarity and precision by Shohaku Okumura and Taigen Dan Leighton that we enter Dogen Zenji’s presence as though in dokusan.” —Zenkei Blanche Hartman, Abbess of San Francisco Zen Center

“A fine introduction to the spirit of Zen, both past and present. Dogen’s famous text on Zen practice comes alive. … The translation well captures both the sense of Dogen’s original text and the clarity and humanity that have made Uchiyama Roshi one of the most attractive Zen teachers today.” —Carl Bielefeldt, Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford University
