Odes in Praise of Dogen's Shobogenzo (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye) transforms Zen Master Dogen's complex teachings into poems that speak directly to the imagination and heart. The Zen classic, the Shobogenzo, consists of ninety-five essays written in the twelfth century on the dharma body of light and the essence of Zen living. Other books by the author which make Zen accessible through poetry are Walking Zen Mountain (Five Ranks, Ten Oxen, and Twelve Links) and Rice Eyes (Enlightenment in Dogen's Kitchen).
