Vrai Zen: Source vivante, racines profondes

Text

Deshimaru's running French commentary on Dōgen's Shōbōgenzō, transcribed from teisho given at La Gendronnière. The volume is the closest he came to producing a sustained doctrinal exposition rather than situational kusen, and it shows him reading Dōgen line-by-line in French for an audience that had no access to the Japanese original. A central reference for the AZI's understanding of its Sōtō pedigree.
