Enlightenment is the most important work in each one's life. Enlightenment is the only way to verify awakening to the true nature of the self without the least bit of deviation. Gien Roshi explains the Blueprint of Enlightenment that Dogen Zenji gave us in his writing of the Guidelines for Studying the Way. Gien Roshi writes: The Bodhi-mind is the mind that wants to attain unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment. This term looks difficult, but the Bodhi-mind means the mind that seeks the Way. This Way is how you are right now. First, you need to ask, "What is my essential nature? What is the true nature of my mind?" To want to find out these things is very important. In other words, "What is the self?" You need to have the desire to be a person who can answer those questions and who can say, "This is what a human being is." Gien Roshi had that burning desire and now is able to elucidate Dogen's teachings. When Gien Roshi at last experienced complete, perfect enlightenment, he said, "In the midst of several thousand people, there was no one, no place, no me ... absolutely nothing. While there was nothing and no one who knows that, some condition touched this [body] and consciousness arose. Until then, the conscious experience was absent and then it suddenly rose up. And so, at that moment, "Oh!" From that time on, there was not the slightest doubt." Certainly, now is the time for Dogen Zenji's teaching, to get a new lease on life through Gien Roshi's commentary, the means to find the Way.

There is a fine art to presenting complex ideas with simplicity and insight, in a manner that both guides and inspires.

He discusses correct breathing, posture, routine, teacher-student relations, and koan study, as well as common problems and milestones encountered in the process. Throughout the book the author returns to zazen, offering further advice and more advanced techniques. The orientation extends to various religious attitudes and includes detailed discussions of the Three Treasures and the Ten Precepts of Zen Buddhism. Taking the Path of Zen will serve as orientation and guide for anyone who is drawn to the ways of Zen, from the simply curious to the serious Zen student.

A fifth-century Indian Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma is credited with bringing Zen to China. Although the tradition that traces its ancestry back to him did not flourish until nearly two hundred years after his death, today millions of Zen Buddhists and students of kung fu claim him as their spiritual father. While others viewed Zen practice as a purification of the mind or a stage on the way to perfect enlightenment, Bodhidharma equated Zen with buddhahood and believed that it had a place in everyday life. Instead of telling his disciples to purify their minds, he pointed them to rock walls, to the movements of tigers and cranes, to a hollow reed floating across the Yangtze. This bilingual edition, the only volume of the great teacher's work currently available in English, presents four teachings in their entirety. "Outline of Practice" describes the four all-inclusive habits that lead to enlightenment, the "Bloodstream Sermon" exhorts students to seek the Buddha by seeing their own nature, the "Wake-up Sermon" defends his premise that the most essential method for reaching enlightenment is beholding the mind. The original Chinese text, presented on facing pages, is taken from a Ch'ing dynasty woodblock edition.

This enlightening exploration of Buddhism and Socratic philosophy reveals the deep connections between these two profound traditions of thought. The basis of Western thought and, indeed, our educational system can be attributed to the truth-seeking methods of Socrates. One of the Greek philosopher’s most enduring concepts, the importance of self-knowing, has been echoed throughout Western literature and has many reverberations within Eastern thought. William Bodri shows that Socrates had attained a spiritual stage called samadhi, satisfying the requirements specified in Buddhist systems of one who had attained enlightenment. Bodri points to the comparisons and contrasts between East and West, illuminating both Buddhist and Socratic thought. Using Socrates as an example, Bodri calls for the broadening of our Western ideas of learning to encompass spiritual knowing.
