A guide to awakening buddha mind for the contemporary Zen practitioner.

In the words of Eihei Dōgen, the thirteenth-century Buddhist monk who introduced the Sōtō school of Zen to Japan, “To study the Buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.” Centuries later, these enigmatic words from his seminal “Genjōkōan” (Actualizing the Fundamental Point) are still studied in Zen communities the world over.
