		He related the story in 1244 in an essay in Shobogenzo, "Turning the Dharma Wheel," or Temborin.[5]A couple of years later he told a slightly different version of it, recorded in Dharma hall discourse 179 in volume two of his Extensive Record, Eihei Koroku, which is the version referred to here.
		Dogen also adds in Shobogenzo Kuge, "People who understand that flowers in space are not real but other flowers are real are people who have not seen or heard the Buddha's teaching." He is saying yes to everything, and cutting through duality and nonduality, right in our everyday life.
		Dogen refers to the Lotus Sutra in an essay in Shobogenzo "The Lotus Dharma Turns the Lotus Dharma" Hokke-ten-Hokke, which is devoted to the Lotus Sutra.[18] Dogen quotes the Lotus Sutra more than any other sutra in his writings, but this essay, particularly, is focused on the Lotus Sutra.

		It was written in the thirteenth century by the founder of the sect of Buddhism in Japan which is based on the practice of Zazen.
		I found the Shobogenzo almost impossible to read at that time, and I was amazed that there could be a book written in my own language which I was unable to understand at all.
		The stories in the Shinji Shobogenzo also follow the same unique logical system, and if they are studied from the four viewpoints, we find that they are very realistic stories that were used to teach the fundamental principles of Buddhism.

		However, in the oldest commentary of Dogen Zenji's Shobogenzo made by his direct disciple Senne, the word "koan" is interpreted with the kanji (shows character).
		Shobogenzo is another name of the true reality of all beings (shoho-jisso).

		The Shobogenzo has received enormous attention in Western Zen and Western Zen literature, and with the publication of this watershed volume, the Eihei Koroku will surely rise to commensurate stature.
		The Shobogenzo, a collection of informal sermons, is generally considered the first writing on Buddhism in the Japanese vernacular; it was the primary work of Dogen's earlier period, the ten years (1233-1243) he spent as abbot of Koshoji temple in the town of Fukakusa on the outskirts of Kyoto.
		The composition of the Shobogenzo was almost entirely completed by the time of the move to Echizen (currently Fukui) Province.

		A remarkable collection of essays, Shobogenzo, 'Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching,' was composed in the thirteenth century by the Zen master Dogen, founder of the Soto Zen school in Japan.
		Through its linguistic artistry and its philosophical subtlety, the Shobogenzo presents a thorough recasting of Buddhism with a creative ingenuity that has never been matched in the subsequent literature of Japanese Zen.
		With this translation of thirteen of the ninety-five essays, Thomas Cleary, a longtime resident of Japan and lecturer in Oriental thought and religion, attempts to convey the form as well as the content of Dogen's writing, thereby preserving the instrumental structure of the original text.

	Dogen's 300 Koans and Kana Shobogenzo by John Daido Loori, Roshi
		My main interest in the two Shobogenzos has less to do with whether Dogen was a critic or a supporter of koan introspection, than with his unique and creative way of commenting on the koans.
		Extending this argument even further, we could say that his creation of the fascicles on cleaning the teeth, using the lavatory, preparing and eating a meal, washing the face, were also a response to the superficiality and self-consciousness that had invaded the Buddhist liturgy of the thirteenth century.
		For me, the comparative utilization of the Mana Shobogenzo and the Kana Shobogenzo, in conjunction with the traditional koans that are used in our koan study and introspection, is more than a theoretical or philosophical interest.

		Finally, I feel that if you are to truly to see what Master Dogen's is pointing to in his Shobogenzo you will need to have a solid foundation in a correct daily Zazen practice.
		I agree with the previous reviewer, these translations are good-yet not as to the point as "Moon in a Dewdrop." For those of you unfamiliar with the book we are mentioning, I recommend purchasing it before this one.
		The reviewer prior to him mentioned Cook's translation of the Genjokoan, a text which some 20 years after Shobogenzo's completion was made the first chapter.

	Master Dogen’s Shinji Shobogenzo: 301 Koan Stories book review
		Dogen Zenji’s Shinji Shobogenzo (also known as Shobogenzo Sanbyakusoku or the Mana Shobegenzo) is a collection of 301 koans compiled by Dogen, begun probably before he made his famous trip to China in 1223.
		For many years the authenticity of Shenji Shobogenzo was in doubt, but with the discovery in Kanagawa in 1934 of one volume of this collection, which has been dated at 1288, just 35 years after Dogen’s death in 1253, most scholars now accept the Shenji Shobogenzo as an authentic Dogen work.
		His Kana Shobogenzo translation has explanatory footnotes which give literal translations of some of the Japanese phrases, inform the reader about the main characters that appear in the work and give some interpretations, based on Nishijima’s understanding, of some of the difficult metaphorical language and allusions.

		The Shinji Shobogenzo is a marvellous collection of 301 Zen koan stories in three volumes that Master Dogen collected during his four-year stay in China.
		The Shinji Shobogenzo is an essential collection that encompasses many of the well-known koan stories, with many interesting and less familiar ones, together with the comments of a contemporary Buddhist master renowned for his clear and no-nonsense approach.
		This translation, supported by the Japan Foundation, makes a strong claim to be the definitive translation of the 95-chapter edition of Shobogenzo, the essential Japanese Buddhist text, written in the 13th century by Master Dogen.

	New from Shasta Abbey Press
		However, its significance is not restricted to one branch of Buddhism, as its author, Master Eihei Dogen, having the task of first bringing Soto Zen to Japan in the Thirteenth Century, wished to pass on to his disciples the heart of what he had found in Great Sung China concerning the Truth of Buddhism.
		The record of the talks and writings which Dogen gave to accomplish this purpose is the Shobogenzo, and, as such, it can be said to contain the distilled essence of the Golden Age of Chinese Zen, not only of the Soto but also of the Rinzai and other traditions.
		The translator for the Shobogenzo is Rev. Hubert Nearman, a senior priest at Shasta Abbey and a recognized scholar of medieval Japanese.

	The Route To Active Lifestyle - Moon in a Dewdrop : Writings of Zen Master Dogen
		Soto Zen, in contrast, is a gentler method which places greater reliance on Zazen or deep meditation, and is the method that has gained the largest number of adherents in Japan.
		To discover just how profound Dogen was, you will have to turn to his magnum opus, the 'Shobogenzo' or 'Treasury of the True Dharma Eye.' This has been translated, in whole or in part, a number of times, but an edition I can heartily recommend is the present book.
		The language and thought of the 'Shobogenzo' come from such a height that there can be no such thing as a definitive interpretation, and hence no such thing as a definitive translation.

		They were often quite brief, given in the Dharma Hall with the teacher on the high seat on the altar and with the monks standing.
		Apparently they were the form favored by Dogen, since he nearly stopped writing the longer essays of Shobogenzo after 1244, but continued using the formal jodo talks, which were recorded in Eihei Koroku, in training his monks at Eiheiji before his death in 1253.

		Even if he did not conduct formal koan training, in the sense of a particular koan curriculum as in some of Rinzai Zen (as well as some of medieval Soto Zen), Dogen comments on the old stories of the ancestors in a great deal of his writings.

		Anyone who understand it will be able to grasp the overall spirit of the Shobogenzo and the essence of Dogen' Zen.
		The tendency to misinterpret "emptiness" nihilistically, whether by intellectual misunderstanding or by mistaking concentration states for insight, is well known and often mentioned in Buddhist texts, especially texts of the Zen schools, where, perhaps due in part to overemphasis on concentration, it seems to have been a not uncommon problem.
		A thorough reading of Dogen's Shobogenzo will reveal that correcting or preventing the tendency toward nihilistic interpretation of emptiness is a major concern of Dogen's teaching.

		Among these writings, by far the most famous is the Shobogenzo (“Treasury of the Eye of the True Dharma”), a collection of vernacular essays that typically take the form of comments on passages in Chinese Zen texts.
		Steven Heine: The Shobogenzo was written in the Japanese vernacular and in the informal style of sermons given on various occasions.
		Taigen Dan Leighton: The Shobogenzo essays are very philosophical—that’s why modern philosophers have been very impressed with Dogen—yet these long essays make it a little more difficult for people to feel the person of Dogen.

		[13] The Keiteki is a record of his lectures on twenty-nine chapters of the Shobogenzo and is generally considered an important and authoritative work.
		It goes without saying that Nishiari Zenji was a priest of great learning and virtue, but even a green priest like me will not affirm his eye of satori.

	Random House Academic Resources \| The True Dharma Eye by John Diado Loori Translated by Kazuaki Tanahashi
		This collection of three hundred main cases was first published in 1766 under the title Shobogenzo Sambyakusoku (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: Three Hundred Cases), and was known to have provided the raw material for much of Dogen's better known Japanese-language Kana Shobogenzo.
		Dogen's collection of koans may come as a surprise to students of Zen as Dogen and the Soto school are generally known for the practice of shikantaza, or "just sitting," rather than for koan practice.
		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.
