- Abstract
This review discusses two recent books on Zen philosophy: Steven Heine's "Treasury of the True Dharma Eye" and Bret Davis's "Zen Pathways: An Introduction to the Philosophy and Practice of Zen Buddhism." Heine's book combines historical and philological approaches, while Davis's book combines philosophical and spiritual approaches. Heine's work provides historical context, explores Dōgen's exegetical writing method, and emphasizes the ritual context in which Dōgen wrote. Davis's book serves as a spiritual guidebook, focusing on one specific path within Zen Buddhism. Both books offer valuable insights into different aspects of Zen Buddhism.
