Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: Zen Master Dogen's "Shobo Genzo"

[...]it is somewhat bewildering that a decision was made not to use macrons to indicate long vowels above Japanese terms, titles, and names, except in the glossary. Since Dogen's vocabulary is complex, these diacritical marks are important both technically for correct reading and culturally for the accurate transmission of Zen terminology in the West. [...]questions concerning key concepts in Dogen's Zen must go hand in hand with the ongoing development of the Western study of the Shobogenzo, and I believe that Treasury of the True Dharma Eye will serve as a touchstone for future projects.
