Synopsis:
A new translation of Nagarjuna`s major work, Mulamadhyamakarika, from the Sanskrit, with extensive references to Zen master Dogen`s Shobogenzo.

Luetchford was responsible for producing the epic four volume translation of the Shobogenzo with master Gudo Nishijima Roshi, and during a twenty year stay in Japan became involved in Nishijima`s translation of Nagarjuna`s work into Japanese. This work attempts to confirm whether there is a common base between the teachings of Dogen in the Shobogenzo, and the teachings of Nagarjuna in his most important work on the nature of reality, the Mulamadhyamakarika.

"Throughout this translation, I have sought for Dogen`s meaning in Nagarjuna`s verses. Since Dogen`s explanation of Buddhist theory and practice in the Shobogenzo is complete, it makes a reliable and entirely consistent basis on which to interpret Nagarjuna, particularly as Dogen claims to be expounding the teachings of the patriarchs in his lineage, of whom Nagarjuna is one. It is my belief that Nagarjuna taught the same truth that Dogen did. It is my hope that the reader will find in this book some real and practical understanding of the nature of the truth taught by these two great masters, an understanding that makes sense in today`s world." Michael Luetchford.
