    Shobogenzo Book 3

    Hi Everyone,

    So I recently ordered the Nishijima/Cross translation of the Shobogenzo, Book 4 to complete my set. However, when it arrived this week it also came with Book 3 (which I already have). I emailed the shipper:

    Good Afternoon,

    Thank you for your order! I did some research and in our listing we have this for our item notes: "paperback book, volume 4, INCLUDES ADDITIONAL BOOK - VOL.3 w/ purchace (2 books, one price), vol. 3 has slight wear to edges and corners, vol.4 is creased down the middle of front cover, cover scuffed, edges and corners are worn/bent.". So it appears that since you ordered book 4 we threw in book 3 for you. Hope that clears everything up. We look forward to shipping you another book sometime soon - thank you

    Sincerely,
    Corey E.

    So if anyone is building up this set and needs book three, please let me know and I'll send it to you (no charge). All I ask is that you really need it and will use it.

    Here's the details: Master Dogen's Shobogenzo, Book 3

    PS - First come, first served.

    Gassho,

    Hi Shawn - I haven't read any of Shobogenzo yet - was wondering what to do as it is in 4 volumes.
    Did you just start with book 1 and begin to work your way through?

    Thanks

    Willow

      There is actually a wonderful thread by Jundo on how to delve into Dogen:

      viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2999&p=71471&

      The recommendation (and a great one) is to start with "Realizing Genjokoan" by Okamura. The second is to read Dr. Kim's books on Dogen. I am reading one of those now and have to admit they are substantially "heavier" than Okamura Roshi's.

      Gassho,

        thanks for that - awesome post by Jundo - guess that's my reading for the next 5 years sorted :shock:

        I've just started Genjo Koan after watching Taigu's talks - also have a copy of Zuimonki (good you mentioned the book club).
        .... but I'm still reading Joko Beck and I guess we'll be starting the Book of Equanimity soon ?!

        Meanwhile - it's another beautiful sunny day in the UK - the blossom's out and the frogs have spawned loads of frog's spawn in the garden pond.

        Have a good weekend treeleafers

          Hi Willow!

          Are you anywhere near a place called "King's Lynn?" Me Mum :lol: spent several years there as a teenager and still speaks of that time with great fondness. Just curious.

          Have a great weekend yourself.

            Hi Greg,

            I don't live near to King's Lynn but I have visited. It is near to the Norfolk - a pretty part of the east coast here.
            Nice to hear your mum has fond memories of the UK.

              I'm building my Dogen set. If there are no takers, I'll adopt the book.
