One of the greatest religious practitioners and philosophers of the East, the great Japanese master Dogen (1200-1253) is today thought of as the founder of the Soto school of Zen. A profound thinker and writer, he was deeply involved in monastic methods and in integrating Zen realization into daily life. At times his masterpiece, the Shobogenzo, was profoundly difficult, and he worked on it over his entire life. revising and expanding, producing a work that is today thought to be one of the greatest Buddhist books ever produced. The Genjo Koan is the first chapter in that book, and for many followers it might be thought to contain the gist of Dogen's work - it is one of the groundwork texts of Zen Buddhism.
