When you enter the zendo
leave the Buddha at the doorstep
and become the Buddha
you've always been

Gassho,
Timo
no thing needs to be added
Taking off her shoes
a buddha enters the zendo
Putting her shoes back on
a buddha walks home
Thanks,

Please take this layman's words with a grain of salt.
Taking shoes off
a Buddha enters the zendo
the zendo enters the Buddha
the Buddha enters the Buddha
all Buddhas walk home
Gassho, John
You neither can enter nor leave
No Zendo, no Buddha, nobody
Nothing to turn into,throwing everything
Empty hands will show you the way
In gassho

Don t write it, Nengyo, be it !

Buddha of grass and sky
what need do I have
fore a roof and walls?
In the rain without getting wet

Three Buddhas enter the Zendo.
Out of an empty box
The universe walks home.
John,
I can see that Dogen is sinking in.Taking shoes off
a Buddha enters the zendo
the zendo enters the Buddha
the Buddha enters the Buddha
all Buddhas walk home
Close, very close.

Gassho,

no thing needs to be added
No zendo
No shoes
No step
No Buddha
No mind
Nobody!
What fine fellows these poets are.
