In the interest of promoting the philosophical discussion between Eastern Asia and Europe, texts from the main work of Sh b genz von D gen, the great master from the early period of Japanese Zen Buddhism, have been selected, translated and provided with a commentary. These can be read as meditation instructions, as the close-to-nature poetry of life or as a Far Eastern version of what in the Western world is called philosophy. In a well-founded translation which describes the key philosophical terms and which contains a comprehensive introduction and a detailed commentary in German, the book will be of interest to researchers and to interested lay persons as well.
