"Our own picture of the world is a kind of a fantasy made of our memory in our brain. Each person has this limitation. That is why we have problems, troubles, fighting, arguments. The angles we see the world from are different, and anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, the supreme awareness, is to see that we cannot see the whole world, to understand that we are deluded and limited. This means we have to let go of our viewpoints."
– Dōgen
-
"So our practice is not to eliminate our delusion, but to see or to become aware of the fact that we are deluded. Just become aware of it and let go of it. Do not be pulled by the delusions."
– Dōgen
-
"Although we say mountains belong to the country, actually, they belong to those that love them."

"Treading along in this dreamlike, illusory realm, Without looking for the traces I may have left; A cuckoo's song beckons me to return home; Hearing this, I tilt my head to see Who has told me to turn back. But do not ask me where I am going,
As I travel in this limitless world,
Where every step I take is my home."– Dōgen

Dans ma hutte de paille
Que je sois assis ou debout
Je ne cesse d'invoquer
la miséricorde des Bouddhas :
Qu'ils fassent passer tous les autres
Avant moi.--

"A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."
– Dōgen

"Looking deeply into the writings and sutras of past teachers does not mean to learn something that is unrelated to us. Studying ancient writings means to study our lives. To study the Tenzo Kyōkun came to mean for me that I would be studying my own life."

"The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass."

#ShinjinDatsuraku ("dropping off body and mind") is a pivotal #Zen concept expressing the experiential release of self-attachment and dualistic identification. Central to #Dōgen's teaching, it reflects the Buddhist insight into non-self (#anatta) and #impermanence (#anicca), emphasizing liberation through letting go rather than accumulation. This post briefly explores its meaning and practice in Zen.

#Zen #Buddhism redefines time not as a linear sequence but as the immediate unfolding of being. #Dōgen’s concept of #uji ("being-time") dissolves boundaries between existence and temporality, emphasizing presence over progression. #Zazen practice embodies this view, revealing awakening in each moment.

"The longness and shortness of the present moment can be recognized by utilizing a big image of the moon, which is reflecting on the surface of the ocean, and a small image of the moon on the surface of a cup of water, or in another example the very wide scale of the whole sky itself, and the very narrow space of the moon, which is shining in the sky."
