'Zen' Buddhist teacher Dogen Zenji is a very important religious person during the
Kamakura period, 750 years ago. After his mother died, he decides to move to
China and settle as a Buddhist teacher. One bright morning, enlightened, Zenji
returns to Japan as a devoted evangelist of the 'new' Buddhism. However,
this new form of Buddhism is not accepted in all communities.
