Summary: Decent Translations
Comment: I agree with the previous reviewer, these translations are good-yet not as to the point as "Moon in a Dewdrop." For those of you unfamiliar with the book we are mentioning, I recommend purchasing it before this one. The reviewer prior to him mentioned Cook's translation of the Genjokoan, a text which some 20 years after Shobogenzo's completion was made the first chapter. Personally, not to play one-upmanship here, I find Taizan Maezumi Roshi's commentaries on Genjokoan as erudite as the original work itself. I recommend grabbing "The Teachings of the Great Mountain: Zen Talks by Taizan Maezumi." Very clear text it is. All in all this is a pretty good translation, while there are better out there frankly. The one I mentioned starting the review is the best I've found in the form of "best of" in terms of Dogen's work and even poetry. So buy this book to expand your horizons, and yes even learn some things. But be sure to continue your quest in understanding Dogen's crucial Zen more and more, because this isn't the best book out there on the subject. Having said all this, I think you'll really enjoy it. Take care!

Summary: dharma eye new moon size
Comment: A useful "best of" selection of Dogen's enormous masterwork. Cleary is generally dependable in this venture. While not as comprehensive as "Moon in a Dewdrop", the book has the virtue of fitting very neatly into a backpack. As 'wisdom imparts wisdom to wisdom', highly recommended.

Summary: new moon size dharma eye
Comment: For casual or beginning students, a very useful, selected 'best of', summary type of collection. Cleary appears dependable in this venture. Moon in a Dewdrop is more complete, but does not fit in the backpack nearly as well.
