The Shobogenzo or The Treasure House of the Eye of the True Teachings.... Vol 1

Description: The Shobogenzo or The Treasure House of the Eye of the True Teachings by Great Master Dogen Volume 1 The Shobogenzo is a collection of writings by the First Japanese Soto Zen Buddhist Ancestor, Great Master Eihei Dogen, based primarily on formal Dharma talks which he gave to his disciples at various times between 1233 and his death twenty years later at age fifty-three.
