That man was the Zen monk Eihei Dogen. For centuries his main work, \u003ci\u003eShobogenzo\u003c\/i\u003e, languished in obscurity, locked away in remote monasteries until scholars rediscovered it in the twentieth century. What took so long? In Brad Warner's view, Dogen was too ahead of his time to find an appreciative audience. To bring Dogen's work to a bigger readership, Warner began paraphrasing \u003ci\u003eShobogenzo\u003c\/i\u003e, recasting it in simple, everyday language. The first part of this project resulted in \u003ci\u003eDon't Be a Jerk\u003c\/i\u003e, and now Warner presents this second volume, \u003ci\u003eIt Came from Beyond Zen \u003c\/i\u003e Once again, Warner uses wry humor and incisive commentary to bridge the gap between past and present, making Dogen's words clearer and more relevant than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrdained as a Soto Zen priest, \u003cb\u003eBrad Warner\u003c\/b\u003e is also a punk bassist, filmmaker, and blogger.
