Thirty years after the publication of his classic work DMgen Kigen--Mystical Realist, Hee-Jin Kim reframes and recasts his understanding of DMgen's Zen methodology in this new book. Through meticulous textual analyses of and critical reflections on key passages primarily from DMgen's ShMbMgenzM, Kim explicates hitherto underappreciated aspects of DMgen's religion, such as the ambiguity of delusion and also of enlightenment, intricacies of negotiating the Way, the dynamic functions of emptiness, the realizational view of language, nonthinking as the essence of meditation, and a multifaceted conception of reason. Kim also responds to many recent developments in Zen studies that have arisen in both Asia and the West, especially Critical Buddhism. He brings DMgen the meditator and DMgen the thinker into relief. Kim's study clearly demonstrates that language, thinking, and reason constitute the essence of DMgen's proposed Zen praxis, and that such a Zen opens up new possibilities for dialogue between Zen and contemporary thought. This fresh assessment of DMgen's Zen represents a radical shift in our understanding of its place in the history of Buddhism.
