    Dōgen Zenji (道元禅師; January 19, 1200 – September 22, 1253) was a Japanese Zen Buddhist teacher and founder of the Soto school of Zen in Japan. He was a leading religious figure and important philosopher. “Zenji” is a title meaning zen master, and the name Dogen means roughly “Source of the Way.”
    The seminal philosophical force of Japanese Soto Zen, Dogen Zenji is revered today for the clarity of his insights, for his passion, and for his poetry. Zen master Dogen outlines the principles of zazen meditation and explains the universal guidelines for sitting practice.
    In 1253, he fell sick and died at the age of 53. Following Dogen Zenji, the Dharma lamp was transmitted to Ejo Zenji, then to Gikai Zenji, and then to Keizan Zenji, who was the fourth ancestor in the Japanese Soto Zen lineage. Keizan Zenji was born in 1264 in Echizen Province, which is present-day Fukui Prefecture.

    Presumably, young Dogen Zenji lived in comfort. However, at the age of thirteen, he climbed Mt. Hiei, and the next year he shaved his head and became a monk. It is said that he became a monk because he felt the impermanence of the world on his mother’s death when he was eight years old.
