Studying The Dharma
In our tradition, we emphasize the study of the Dharma primarily as a support to actually practicing the Dharma. Below, we have listed some links to articles and books helpful in studying the Dharma as we practice it in the Serene Reflection (Soto Zen) Tradition.
Eightfold Path of Buddhism An outline of the Eightfold Path by Reverend Master Daizui MacPhillamy, the late head of our monastic order.
Dependent Origination A booklet exploring the doctrine of Dependent Origination seen from the point of view of practice, written by Reverend Master Koshin Schomberg of the North Cascades Buddhist Priory in Washington State.
Shobogenzo. The Shobogenzo is the master work of Great Master Dogen, the Japanese monk who brought our tradition from China to Japan in the 13th century, and who we consider to be the founder of our tradition.
