The True Dharma Eye · Zen Master Dogen's Three Hundred Koans

A collection of three hundred koans compiled by Eihei

Dogen, the thirteenth-century founder of Soto Zen in Japan, this book presents readers

with a uniquely contemporary perspective on his profound teachings and their relevance

for modern Western practitioners of Zen. Following the traditional format for koan

collections, John Daido Loori Roshi, an American Zen master, has added his own

commentary and accompanying verse for each of Dogen’s koans. Zen students and

scholars will find *The True Dharma Eye* to

be a source of deep insight into the mind of one of the world’s greatest

religious thinkers, as well as the practice of koan study itself.
