Description:

Zen delves into the profound spiritual journey of a pivotal religious figure during Japan's Kamakura period, approximately 750 years ago. After suffering the immense loss of his mother, the young teacher Dogen Zenji embarks on a transformative pilgrimage to China, seeking deeper understanding. There, he dedicates himself to profound Buddhist studies, eventually establishing himself as a respected teacher.

Following a profound personal enlightenment, Zenji returns to Japan, reborn as a fervent evangelist of a distinct new form of Buddhism. Filled with zeal, he is determined to share his spiritual discoveries and awaken his homeland. However, his progressive teachings encounter immediate and fierce resistance. Many communities and established religious traditions find his interpretation challenging, leading to widespread skepticism and significant societal friction.
