words of wisdom

"Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself. "

Plato

* * *

To study the Way is to study the self.

To study the self is to forget the self.

To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things.

To be enlightened by all things is to remove the barriers between one's self and others.

quote from Dogen's "Genjokoan" (lit. "Manifesting Suchness")
