Buddhism is very hard to define at the top of one's head. "Dokusan
with Dogen: Timeless Lessons in Negotiating the Way" discusses the
lessons put forth by Dogen, a Zen Master of thirteenth century Japan
who is credited with much of the philosophy of thought surrounding the
Zen brand of Buddhism. These ten essays seek to explain the Zen
masters work, and how they can be applied to modern Buddhists.
"Dokusan with Dogen" is a strongly recommended pick for any Buddhist
studies collections.
