A number of books' months of publication have been updated. The whole seven-vol boxed set from Dogen to Isan have been assigned a month, where previously they had none; based on ISBN searches, a number of sites reported Sep 1989. Though they are not always reliable, they are in this case at least consistent with each other and Sep 89 fits well. And the five-vol boxed set similarly was found to be not Sep but Jul 89. (For both sets, only sample searches were used, assuming togetherness, so it was Original Man and Hyakujo.)

The books lists at the back of each vol have some inferential info too. The five-set and seven-set books both list each other, meaning the seven-set was in the pipeline enough to be anticipated. And neither of them lists No Mind, or anything after it, so it clearly came after, though not long, and it was well in the pipeline. And neither set lists Kyozan, even though it came immediately after the seven-set in terms of dates talks given.

And No Mind's books list at the end has both the five-set and the seven-set, and it lists Kyozan and almost all the books that came after it, including Zen Manifesto, but not One Seed or Yakusan. -- doofus-9 (talk) 18:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)



why is the table split in two ? or better, what exactly is the criteria for the books placement (*1st or 2nd part) ?--Rudra (talk) 02:58, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


The first table tries to track what happened in a chronological order during the lectures. So the column First lecture date is the most important (only important!) sequence.

The second table adds information about what happened with the naming publication-wise, with books published during the name-change, but spoken earlier. --Sugit (talk) 06:48, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


Can we please upload the missing label images. thanks.--Rudra (talk) 02:58, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


What I uploaded are stickers only. Of some other ones, there are no stickers, these are only printed in the book. I believe Sarlo has one more sticker, he said he would scan it in due time. Do you want scans of the printed stuff too? Then we have to somehow make clear what's a sticker and what is printed. --Sugit (talk) 06:48, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


yes, i think we should insert scans of all different versions to back up our claims in black on white. --Rudra (talk) 07:56, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
