Description
The Wholehearted Way is a translation of Eihei Dogen's Bendowa, one of the primary texts on Zen practice. Transcending any particular school of Buddhism or religious belief, Dogen's profound and poetic writings are respected as a pinnacle of world spiritual literature. Bendowa, or A Talk on the Wholehearted Practice of the Way, was written in 1231 A.D. and expresses Dogen's teaching of the essential meaning of zazen (seated meditation) and its practice.
This edition also contains commentary on Bendowa by Kosho Uchiyama Roshi, a foreword by Taigen Daniel Leighton, and an Introduction by Shohaku Okumura, both of whom prepared this English translation.

Reviews / Votes
"This book will take Dogen Zenji's teachings on practice / enlightenment into the 21st century. Uchiyama Roshi's deep devotion, toether with his modern here-and-now understanding, is presented with such clarity and precision by Shohaku Okumura and Taigen Dan Leighton that we enter Dogen Zewji's presence as though in dokusan." -Zenkei Blanche Hartman, Abbess of he San Francisco Zen Center "A fine introduction to the spirit of Zen, both past and present. Dogen's famous text on Zen practice comes alive in the hands of a modern meditation master...The translation well captures both the sense of Dogen's original text and the clarity and humanity that have made Uchiyama Roshi one of the most attractive Zen teachers today." -Carl Biefeldt, Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford UniversityMore details
