PDF: Zen Master Dōgen: an introduction with selected writings
by Yūhō Yokoi, with the assistance of Daizen Victoria; and with a foreword by Minoru Kiyota
Weatherhill, 1976, 217 p.From the Preface by Yūhō Yokoi
Having entered the Sōtō Zen monkhood at the age of twenty and trained
at Sōji-ji, one of the sect's two head monasteries, I realized that without an
understanding of Dōgen's Zen it is impossible to talk of Zen Buddhism in its
entirety. I therefore decided to embark on a lifelong effort to introduce to the
English-speaking world the life and unique thought of this Zen master as
recorded in his numerous works, particularly his masterwork, the Shobogenzo.In 1960 I began a detailed study of the Shōbō-genzō in preparation for its
translation. At the same time I also studied the grammatical structure of the
Japanese language of the Kamakura period (1185-1336) in order to grasp
more fully the linguistic meaning of the original and wrote a thesis concerning
my findings. It was not until 1965, however, that I actually began to
translate the Shobo-genzo into English as well as modern Japanese.Acting on the advice of senior colleagues, I decided first to publish in
English a minor work by Dōgen, the Shōbō-genzō Zuimonki, which consists of a
collection of Dōgen's discourses compiled by his leading disciple, Koun Ejō
(1198-1280). Because of its easy, literary style, this collection may be said to
form the gateway to the Soto sect in Japan. The Sankibo Buddhist Bookstore,
Tokyo, published my translation of this work in 1972,The first step to Dōgen's Zen: Shōbō genzō zuimonki
Sankibō, 1972, 132 p.and in 1973 the same publisher issued my translation of Dōgen's Eihei Genzenji Shingi
(Regulations for Zen Monasteries). This work, composed of six sections, is a
detailed statement of the rules to be followed by Zen trainees during their
monastic life.Regulations for monastic life = Eihei-genzenji-shingi
山喜房書林, Tōkyō: Sanibō Shorin, Showa 48 [1973], 128 p.With the publication of the present book I have at last brought to at least
partial fruition my long-cherished desire to introduce the Shōbō-genzō to the
Western world. Rather than introduce the whole work, consisting of ninetytwo
sections in all, many parts of which are difficult even for advanced students
of Buddhism to understand, I have decided to introduce first its twelve
most readily understood, and in many ways most important, sections. At the
same time I have included three of Dōgen's important independent works:
"A Universal Recommendation for Zazen" (Fukan Zazen-gi), "Points to
Watch in Buddhist Training" (Gakudo Yōjin-shū), and "The Meaning of
Practice-Enlightenment" (Shushō-gi). These I believe will give the reader a
more comprehensive understanding of Dōgen's thought. It is my hope that
these translations, coupled with the short biography of Dōgen in the first
part of this book, will serve as an introduction to a man who is considered by
many Japanese to be one of the most profound, fecund, and deeply spiritual
products of Japanese Buddhism in its more than fourteen-hundred-year
history.
