First and foremeost for people willing to read Dogen, Jundo's essay:

How to Read Dogen - Treeleaf Zendo

http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/showthread.php?7765-How-to-Read-Dogen

LONG POST A few excerpts for some tips and hints I've posted from time to time for those who want to dip into a bit of Shobogenzo ... ---- In my own "in a nutshell" description of how to approach Shobogenzo ... I often describe Dogen as a Jazzman, bending and re-livening the "standard tunes" of Zen

and also this great prose about practice and awakening, How a Buddha Shovels Snow:

How a Buddha Shovels Snow - Treeleaf Zendo

http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/showthread.php?6930-How-a-Buddha-Shovels-Snow

Hi, At ZFI, I wrote an essay about Zen Practice in the Soto way, using a metaphor that someone put up about how Rinzai people and Soto People shovel snow, the importance of "Kensho" and some similar topics ... For those new to all this, and who may not get the snowy symbolism ... "snow" probably means

and my old ramblings on an old Sekito poem:

I really like these "recommended threads". For those who joined not so long ago there's a lot of great past (and always new) threads to read.

Gassho,
