The books are not the problem (Dogen was a great reader or Buddhist literature) ... it is reading the books as dry words without putting into practice.

2-12: The core-sentence (to me) is:

Just practice wholeheartedly in accordance with the buddha-dharma, paying no attention to how others see you.

Do not base your deeds on the judgement of other people. But, as kliffkapus said allready, this is no excuse for being super-lazy, rude or whatever.
