Beyond Thinking

This is a compact compendium of practical and accessible teaching for all Zen students and others who meditate - gathered from the work of the founding father of the Soto school of Zen Buddhism, Eihei Dogen (1200-1253). This collection pulls together the best, most practical pieces useful to meditators. Included are Dogen's famous meditation instructions; advice on the practice of zazen, or sitting meditation; guidelines for community life; and some of his most inspirational talks.
