Dōgen Quote: “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.”
Dōgen Quote: “Do not practice buddha-dharma with the thought that it is to benefit others.”
Dōgen Quote: “Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment.”
Dōgen Quote: “Through one word, or seven words, or three times five, even if you investigate thoroughly myriad forms, nothing can be depended upon. Night advances, the moon glows and falls into the ocean. The black dragon jewel you have been searching for, is everywhere.”
Dōgen Quote: “Just study Buddhism. Don’t follow the sentiments of the world.”
Dōgen Quote: “Since it is the practice of enlightenment, that practice has no beginning and since it is enlightenment within the practice, that realization has no end.”
Dōgen Quote: “Students of the Way must not study Buddhism for the sake of themselves. They must study Buddhism only for the sake of Buddhism. The key to this is to renounce both body and mind without holding anything back and to offer them to the great sea of Buddhism.”
Dōgen Quote: “When other sects speak well of Zen, the first thing that they praise is its poverty.”
Dōgen Quote: “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.”
Dōgen Quote: “The time of our delusion does not obstruct the time of our realization. Our practice is not in order to attain realization. Practice itself is the actualization of realization.”
