Thread: At the doorstep

    At the doorstep

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

    Taking off her shoes
    a buddha enters the zendo
    Putting her shoes back on
    a buddha walks home
    Thanks,
    Kaishin (開心, Open Heart)
    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

    You neither can enter nor leave
    No Zendo, no Buddha, nobody
    Nothing to turn into,throwing everything
    Empty hands will show you the way

    Damn it Taigu, that is exactly what I was going to write!
    If I'm already enlightened why the hell is this so hard?

    Buddha of grass and sky
    what need do I have

    In the rain without getting wet

    Three Buddhas enter the Zendo.
    Out of an empty box
    The universe walks home.

    John,

    Taking shoes off
    a Buddha enters the zendo
    the zendo enters the Buddha
    the Buddha enters the Buddha
    all Buddhas walk home
    I can see that Dogen is sinking in.
    Close, very close.

    No zendo
    No shoes
    No step
    No Buddha
    No mind
    Nobody!

    What fine fellows these poets are.

    Gassho
