- The Dhammapada in Light of the Unborn, authored by Vajragoni and published by Dragonyana Press in 2004, offers a profound reimagining of the Buddhist classic, The Dhammapada, through the lens of Unborn Mind Zen, a contemporary Western Buddhist school founded by Tozen in 2000. Rooted in the Lankavatara Sutra’s "Mind Only" philosophy, this work is designed as a spiritual guide, presenting the Buddha’s teachings in concise, aphoristic verses across 26 chapters, including "Thought," "Vigilance," "The Unborn Mind," and "Consummation." These chapters emphasize awakening to the Unborn Buddha Mind—a deathless, uncreated essence that transcends the cycle of samsara (birth and death). Key concepts include the Recollective Resolve (eternal vigilance in recollecting the mind’s primordial nature), the Bodhi-child (a dormant seed of enlightenment within all beings), and the self-realization of Noble Wisdom, which liberates one from the five skandhas (aggregates of form, sensation, thought, motion, and consciousness). The book features a foreword highlighting its reader-friendly format, an introduction tracing Vajragoni’s journey within Unborn Mind Zen and the school’s foundations, and a glossary defining terms like Tathagatagarbha (womb of suchness) and Alaya-Vijnana (storehouse consciousness). With poetic imagery, such as the Black Dragon symbolizing profound wisdom, this work invites readers to meditate deeply, transcend dualities like love and hate, and embrace liberation through the Unborn Light. Ideal for those exploring Zen, Western Buddhism, or mystical spirituality, it’s a transformative companion for daily reflection.
