The Dark Side of the Mirror: Forgetting the self in Dogen's Genjo Koan (original) (raw)

2019

Abstract

The Dark Side of the Mirror reveals the pivotal principle at the heart of Dogen's Zen and shows how his revelation of it was rooted in his personal experience as well as in the religious consciousness of his time. For Dogen scholars Brazier provides a wealth of previously unpublished connections within Dogen's thought resolving knotty problems of interpretation. For Zen practitioners Genjo Koan reveals the meainging of satori and the way that it irreversibly commits the practitioner to a life long "going forth" in the service of all sentient beings. For the general reader it provides a unique insight into Japanese and Chinese medieval religion and through this prism throws light upon spirituality and spiritual experience universally.
