Nothing Left Out
The Ancestor Who Left Nothing Out, Dōgen's Living Dharma, Breathing Again What if the most radical teaching in the history of Zen is not a koan to solve, but a life to inhabit? Nothing Left Out: The Living Dharma of Eihei Dōgen Zenji opens the great fascicles and intimate writings of the founder of Sōtō Zen and lets them do exactly what they were always meant to do, land. In the body. On the cushion. In the kitchen. In this ordinary, irreplaceable breath.
Read the full description
Dōgen Zenji encoded an entire universe inside a bowl of rice, a walking mountain, the turning of a single season. He taught that shikantaza, just sitting, is not preparation for the Way. It is the Way. This book honors that teaching by refusing to shrink it into doctrine or reduce it to technique. Here, Dōgen's words are met with the seriousness, the tenderness, and the lived attention they demand from every sincere practitioner of Zen Buddhism.
