Shōbōgenzō

Shōbōgenzō (正法眼蔵; Japanese pronunciation: [ɕoː.boː ɡen.dzoː], lit. 'Treasury of the True Dharma Eye') is the title most commonly used to refer to the collection of works written in Japan by the 13th-century Buddhist monk and founder of the Sōtō Zen school, Eihei Dōgen. Several other works exist with the same title (see above), and it is sometimes called the Kana Shōbōgenzō in order to differentiate it from those. The term shōbōgenzō can also be used more generally as a synonym for Buddhism as viewed from the perspective of Mahayana Buddhism.
