Marc Chagall - A Xanela (1924) :: [Guillaume Gris]
* * * * *
"Drifting pitifully in the whirlwind of birth and death, As if wandering in a dream, In the midst of illusion I awaken to the true path; There is one more matter I must not neglect, But I need not bother now, As I listen to the sound of the evening rain Falling on the roof of my temple retreat In the deep grass of Fukakusa."
~ Eihei Dōgen (1200 - 1253) [Ian Sanders]

Put aside the intellectual practice of investigating words and chasing phrases, and learn to take the backward step that turns the light and shines it inward.
Fukan Zazengi
Stop searching for phrases and chasing after words. Take the backward step and turn the light inward. Your body-mind of itself will drop away and your original face will appear. If you want to attain just this, immediately practise just this.
...
The zazen I speak of is not learning meditation. It is simply the dharma gate of enjoyment and ease. It is the practise-realization of complete enlightenment. Realize the fundamental point free from the binding of nets and baskets. Once you experience it, you are like a dragon swimming in the water or a tiger reposing in the mountains. Know that the true dharma emerges of itself, clearing away hindrances and distractions.
Eihei Dōgen, Fukanzazengi (Recommending Zazen to All People)
Where every step I take is my home
Treading along in this dreamlike, illusory realm, Without looking for the traces I may have left; A cuckoo's song beckons me to return home; Hearing this, I tilt my head to see Who has told me to turn back; But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.
~ Eihei Dogen, The Zen poetry of Dōgen (Tuttle, 1997)

To study the way of enlightenment is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. No trace of realization remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly.
Eihei Dogen
水鳥の 行くも帰るも 跡たえて されども路は わすれざりけり (Mizudori no yuku mo kaeru mo ato taete Saredomo michi wa wasure zari keri) 'Water birds go and come back without leaving any trace behind. Even so, they do not forget the path'.
Eihei Dōgen Zenji
When you see other’s errors and you want to guide them because you think they are wrong and you feel compassion for them. You should employ tact to avoid angering them, and contrive to appear as if you were talking about something else…
Eihei Dogen
