Shobogenzo: The True Dharma-eye Treasury (Taisho No. 2582) is the masterwork of the thirteenth-century Zen master Eihei Dogen, founder of the Soto sect of Japanese Zen Buddhism. The Shobogenzo offers the most comprehensive presentation of Dogen’s thought on matters ranging from the practicalities of monastic life to the most profound insights into Buddhist practice and teachings.

This reprint edition presents Volume II of the exemplary translation by Gudo Wafu Nishijima and Chodo Cross of the complete ninety five– chapter edition of the Shobogenzo, compiled by the Zen master Hangyo Kozen in the late seventeenth century.
