NoteAbout the Author
Heinrich Dumoulin was one of the world’s foremost Zen scholars. He was the first director of the Nanzan Institute of Religion and Culture in Japan. He died in 1995 at the age of 90.
Victor Sogen Hori received his doctoral degree in philosophy from Stanford University in 1976 and was ordained a Zen monk in Kyoto. He is currently professor of Japanese religions in the Faculty of Religious Studies, McGill University.
AbstractThis classic history of Zen embodies a scholar’s respect for historical research and a monk’s respect for Zen as a religion. With an unparalleled breadth of scope and detail covering both Rinzai and Soto traditions in Japan, the monumental figure of Dogen, Zen in Art and Culture, Zen Master Hakuin, and Modern Movements in post-war Japan, this book is essential reading for any serious student of Japanese Zen. The great merit of Dumoulin’s study is that he presents the history of Zen from the ‘inside’; his version follows that of an unbroken line of Zen Masters and monks, explaining core religious ideas which have shaped generations of Zen practitioners. In this classic history Dumoulin identifies “pure” and “authentic” Zen, combining a scholar’s respect for history with an insider’s view of one who reveres the spiritual sources which have sustained many generations of Zen practitioners. With an unparalleled breadth of scope and detail covering both Rinzai and Soto traditions in Japan, the monumental figure of Dogen, Zen in Art and Culture, Zen Master Hakuin, and Modern Movements in post-war Japan, this book is essential reading for any serious student of Japanese Zen. The luminous heart of Zen, “not founded on words and letters”, shines through these pages, and Dumoulin never fails to remind us of those core religious ideas which transcend history and shape the life of the spirit.
