Dogen and Soto Zen

Dogen and SotoZen builds upon and further refines a continuing wave of enthusiastic popular interest and scholarly developments in Western appropriations of Zen. In the last few decades research in English and European languages on Dogen and Soto Zen has grown aided by an increasing awareness on both sides of the Pacific of the important influence of the religious movement and its founder. The school has flourished throughout the medieval and early modern periods of Japanese history and it is still spreading and reshaping itself in the current age of globalization.
