one reality

I thought I’d abandoned all-

Even my body-

And yet this snowy night is cold.

“When all dharmas are buddha-dharma, there are enlightenment and delusion, practice, life and death, buddhas and creatures.

When the ten thousand dharmas are without self, there are no delusion, no enlightenment, no buddhas, no creatures, no life and death.

The buddha way transcends being and non-being; therefore there are life and death, delusion and enlightenment, creatures and buddhas.

Nevertheless,

flowers fall with our attachment, and weeds spring up with our aversion.”

-Dogen

Deep peace and great love, Issan
