98/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

[Shokai]

The Ninety-eighth Gate

The practice of the balanced state of dhyāna is a gate of Dharma illumination; for it fulfills the ten powers.

Dhyāna :
A deep awareness of oneness (prajna paramita)which is inclusive of perception of body, mind, senses and surroundings, yet remaining unidentified within the meditation.

Within each raindrop
The wisdom
Of infinite seas
