"Flowers Fall"

To study the Buddha is to study oneself. To study oneself is to forget oneself. To forget oneself is

to be enlightened by the myriad dharmas. The be enlightened by the myriad dharmas is to bring

about the dropping away of body and mind of both oneself and others. The traces of

enlightenment come to an end, and this traceless enlightenment is continued endlessly.




-Dôgen, "Flowers Fall"
