"This book offers many original insights into both Dogen (1200-1253) and the influence of the Soto school that his teachings later inspired... This volume of collected essays by respected academics is another valuable contribution from editor Steven Heine." -- Taigen Dan Leighton, Monumenta Nipponica

"This excellent volume sheds new and corrective light on Dogen and the Soto Zen tradition. Exploring a rich array of topics--Dogen's views of meditation, women, poetry, and death; his standing as a philosopher; distinctive Soto approaches to texts, precepts, liturgical practices, robes, and monastic architecture-the contributors bridge the divide between textual analyses of Dogen's thought and scholarship on institutional facets of Soto Zen. A must read for anyone with a serious interest in Zen." --Christopher Ives, author of Imperial-Way Zen

"Enter a wonderful new book edited by Steven Heine, Dogen and Soto Zen, a collection of essays by leading Buddhist scholars about a wide range of issues regarding Dogen and, of course, Soto Zen." --Wild Fox Zen Blog

"Highly recommended." --CHOICE
