Forgetting
the Self
To learn Buddha
Dharma is to learn the self.
To learn the self
is to forget the self.
To forget the self
is to become one with
endless
dimension
Very very poor translation.
The accurate translation for this quotation by Dogen is
this:
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 of the
universe. To be enlightened by all things of the universe is to
cast off the body and mind of the self as well as those of others.
Even the traces of enlightenment are wiped out, and life with
traceless enlightenment goes on forever and ever.
