Dogen and Zazen

Today I got Dogen's Zazen guidance book from the library. The sense of peace emanating from the words is amazing. Two poems suffice:


Viewing Peach Blossoms and Realizing the Way

In spring wind
peach blossoms
begin to come apart.
Doubts do not grow
branches and leaves.

On Nondependence of Mind

Water birds
going and coming
their traces disappear
but they never
forget their path.
