Engaging Dogen s Zenis a practice oriented study of Shushogi(a canonical distillation of Dogen's thought used as a primer in the Soto School of Zen)and Fukanzazengi(Dogen's essential text on the practice of just sitting, a text recited daily in the Soto School of Zen). Itis also a study of the entire self. Here, the principles of Soto Zen practice are unpacked and explained by leading contemporary Buddhists from the living tradition monks, priests, academics, and community teachers. Tackling Dogen s approach to key issues, such as the preeminenceof shikantaza, universal buddha nature, and what it means to be a Mahayana Buddhist, the contributors to the volume help Zen practitioners and any who are trying to deepen their lives to appreciate better the teachings of Soto Zen and make these teachings part of their lives. By revisiting what remains precious in Shushogi and Fukanzazengi, we let them breathe just as we learn to breathe in zazen. Wefind that Soto practice not only engages Dogen and Sakyamuni, but all of our sisters and brothers, and indeedthe great earth itself.
