Dogen's advice on the Path

My favourite quote of Dogen - the founder of the Soto school

"To study the Buddha Way is to study the self; to study the self is to forget the self; to forget the self is to be actualised by 10,000 things. When actualised by 10,000 things, your body and mind as well as the body and mind of others drop away. No trace of realisation remains and this no trace continues endlessly."

From the Genjōkōan (現成公按)
