Zen Master Dogen 道元 ~ No Traces ~ Zen Buddhism

A selection of poems written by Dogen taken from various texts:
** The Zen Poetry of Dogen: Verses from the Mountain of Eternal
Peace - translated by Steven Heine ** The Enlightened Heart, An
Anthology of Sacred Poetry - translated by Stephen Mitchell Dōgen
Zenji (1200 - 1253) was a Japanese Buddhist priest, writer, poet,
philosopher, and founder of the Sōtō school of Zen in Japan.
Originally ordained as a monk in the Tendai School in Kyoto,
Dogen was ultimately dissatisfied with its teaching and traveled
to China to seek out what he believed to be a more authentic
Buddhism. Upon his return to Japan, he began promoting the
practice of zazen (sitting meditation) through literary works. He
eventually left Kyoto for the mountainous countryside where he
founded the monastery Eihei-ji, which remains the head temple of
the Sōtō school today.
