I settled on Treasury of the True Dharma Eye by Kezuaki Tanahashi-- on "sale" at amazon for 59 bucks down from $100. Its 1200 pages (!).bodom wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 6:51 pmI was thinking of getting a copy myself. Which translation did you order?dharmacorps wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 6:27 pm This is a great thread-- I knew Ajahn Geoff likes Dogen most of the mahayana teachers, wasn't sure why but this thread inspired me to buy the shobogenzo. May be the first mahayana book I've read in years.

I was looking at that one. I think I'm going to go with the Gudo Nishijima and Cross's four book set of translations.dharmacorps wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 9:43 pmI settled on Treasury of the True Dharma Eye by Kezuaki Tanahashi-- on "sale" at amazon for 59 bucks down from $100.

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
