~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Citation from the GENJO-KOAN by Zen Master Dogen, adapted (with line breaks added) from MOON IN A DEWDROP edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi, Northpoint Press, 1985 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Though there are many features in the dusty world and the world beyond conditions, you see and understand only what your eye of practice can reach. In order to learn the nature of the myriad things, you must know that although they may look round or square, the other features of oceans and mountains are infinite in variety, whole worlds are there. It is so not only around you, but also directly beneath your feet, or in a drop of water. | |
