translation of Dogen's authentic text of the Fukan zazengi, Part 6
addition, the righteous, (the) Main (focused) and changing moment ever never understood through mental or intellectual Consider distinction. (This moment) is like the finger of Master Gutei , the low-Get the flag mast of Master Ananda , use a needle through master Nagarjuna to teach Kanadewa , hitting the block that was used by Master Manjusri , or the states of deep experience, characterized by a fan, a fist, a stick or a cry are. How is it possible that they are understood by magical abilities or by the separation of practice and experience (the achievement)? These masters are probably the most graceful form of voices and colors.
Would it be possible that they differ from the characteristics of which are beyond the knowledge and vision? We should never discuss whether we are of a higher Wisdom or stupidity are lesser. We should never prefer an intelligent human being towards a stupid man. If we do our efforts with all my heart, this should only serve the quest for the truth. Practice and experience in soil in zazen never each other, and behavior in order to progress, then in equilibrium and is stable. Inside in ourselves and outside in the external world or in the western (India) and in eastern countries, we have retained the characteristics of Buddhism in the same way.
We manifest only after the behavior of the profound traditional tradition, namely to just sit in zazen, and marked with the motionless State collected. Only practiced this (same) zazen, although there may be thousands or tens of thousands of differences (in humans), and appeals to you, to strive for the truth. How is it possible that we forget our own place to sit in that we go to other countries and dusty back from there?
If we made an error in the smallest step, we need to stumble or have to commit exactly the moment (not correctable) error. We are fortunately already in the excellent position of having a human body . How would it be possible that we use the time without anything Useful to do?
Fortunately, we have retained the human body and spirit, which are the important basis for the pursuit of the Buddhist truth. As it would be for anyone at all possible, to enjoy the shallowest fleeting joy, the sudden lighting up (and extinction) of the flint is like?
addition, the physical substance as ephemeral as a dewdrop on the leaf of a plant. The circumstances of human life seem to resemble the flash of a light beam. He suddenly disappears and is immediately gone.
I would therefore ask those noble people, the practice and strive for the truth, do not be afraid to encounter the real dragon actually, although at various photos and counterfeiting have become accustomed by the dragon! Brought to you please in the practice of zazen, which directly reveals the truth. Honored people who have the (wrong) learning have crossed in zazen and do not follow any (ostensible) purpose.
Become completely one with the truth of the Buddhas and receive the authentic state of equilibrium of the ancestors in the Dharma. If you, the unbelievable (zazen) practices, it is possible that you will not even this incomprehensible. The great treasury of the jewels is be opened in a natural way and you have achieved the complete freedom to obtain the jewels and use them without any hindrance. "
