Dogen Fascicles

[Kokuu]

Hi all

I really like Kaz Tanahashi's translation of Shobogenzo but have been frustrated by the fact that the fascicles are only listed by their English name. This is frustrating for two reasons. Firstly, often articles and teachings only refer to fascicles by their Japanese name, and secondly, English names for the fascicles vary.

For my own use I have compiled an alphabetical list of the fascicles in both Shobogenzo and Eihei Shingi (Dogen's Pure Standards for the Zen Community) and copy it below in case it might be of use to anyone else.

Thank you Kokuu. I have never cared for the rather inconvenient ways that Tanahashi Sensei does that, and also the way he structures his indexes of key terms in his books.

It really is a shame that more care isn't taken with such matters. It is a wonderful book, and not inexpensive, so I hope the publishers will consider making it easier for people to use in future editions.

I don't know the problem, but it is always good to have a solution at hand before the problem occurs, my mind says .
And I like lists.

I have actually written to Shambhala this morning to ask them to consider adding an index/appendix of this kind.

Thank you Kokuu,

I will share the list at the SZBA and, since a lot of folks there worked with Tanahashi Sensei on his translations, I will ask if someone knows why he does this. It is intentional choice, not a mistake, as he does so on all his books.
