Shōbōgenzō (Treasury of the True Dharma Eye)

Dōgen

Dōgen's major work and one of the summits of Buddhist thought. Its fascicles, preached or written over twenty-two years, comment on kōans, sutras and sayings of Chinese masters in a deliberately twisted Japanese that breaks Chinese syntax to make the texts say what, in his view, they really say. It treats the oneness of practice and realisation, buddha-nature as impermanence, being-time, Dharma transmission, zazen and monastic life down to its most concrete details. It was little read outside his school until the 20th century.
