Thank you,
Koku ... sounds like another name for the one, the good old friend. Please correct me if I'm wrong, it seems not to be in "moon in a dewdrop" nor in first part of the Nishijima/Cross translation.

Koku means space. and is available in enlightenment unfolds in a translation form Kazuaki Tanahashi.

You will find it too in the wonderful translation of Chodo Cross, fourth book: http://www.numatacenter.com/digital/dBE ... 4_2008.pdf

Hi!
Thank you so much for reminding us that koku is not just a concept, an idea that we could isolate and analyze...
But something bigger and more essential/natural... than any intellectual understanding we could have!
Much needed really!

humble gassho,
Jinyu
