Dōgen saw himself, at least in part, as a “translator” of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors into the Japanese language. In the Shōbōgenzō, he directly quotes from Chinese texts in over 300 instances. Similarly, the goal of the Sōtō Zen Translation Project has been to render into English the words of Dōgen and his followers.
