More quotes by Dogen
One must be deeply aware of the impermanence of the world.
Dogen
To what shall I liken the world? Moonlight, reflected In dewdrops, Shaken from a crane's bill.
Dogen
I haven't got any Buddhism. I live by letting things happen.
Dogen
There are mountains hidden in mountains. There are mountains hidden in hiddenness. This is complete understanding.

Dogen
Forgetting oneself is opening oneself
Dogen
I asked, What are words? The tenzo said, One, two, three, four, five. I asked again, What is practice? Nothing in the entire universe is hidden.
Dogen
People who truly follow the Way would do well to conceal the fact that they are Buddhists.
Dogen
The color of the mountains is Buddha's body the sound of running water is his great speech.

If you want to travel the Way of Buddhas and Zen masters, then expect nothing, seek nothing, and grasp nothing.
Dogen
When you paint Spring, do not paint willows, plums, peaches, or apricots, but just paint Spring. To paint willows, plums, peaches, or apricots is to paint willows, plums, peaches, or apricots - it is not yet painting Spring.
Dogen
Do not arouse disdainful mind when you prepare a broth of wild grasses do not arouse joyful mind when you prepare a fine cream soup.
Dogen
Prefer to be defeated in the presence of the wise than to excel among fools.
Dogen
Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.
Dogen
When we discover that the truth is already in us, we are all at once our original selves.
Dogen
Refraining from all evil, not clinging to birth and death, working in deep compassion for all sentient beings, respecting those over you and pitying those below you, without any detesting or desiring, worrying or lamentation - this is what is called Buddha. Do not search beyond it.
Dogen
Why abandon a seat in your own home to wander in vain through dusty regions of another land? If you make one false step, you miss what is right before your eyes.
Dogen
Mountains and oceans have whole worlds of innumerable wondrous features. We should understand that it is not only our distant surroundings that are like this, but even what is right here, even a single drop of water.
Dogen
When mountains and waters are painted, blue, green, and red paints are used, strange rocks and wondrous stones are used, the four jewels and the seven treasures are used. Rice-cakes are painted in the same manner. When a person is painted, the four great elements and five skandhas are used.
Dogen
Meditation is not a way to enlightenment, Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all. It is peace itself. It is the actualization of wisdom, The ultimate truth of the oneness of all things.
Dogen
