    However, some people are saying the dharma face-to-face transmission scene is totally accurate.

      Well, it is the traditional story, except no mention of anyone else in the room, and Dogen first expressed a lack of confidence ... Daido Lori tells it this way:

      Dogen went to the abbot’s room and offered incense. Rujing probed and Dogen said, “Body and mind have been dropped off.” Rujing replied, “Body and mind dropped off. The dropped-off body and mind.” Dogen wasn’t sure about this, so he said, “This may only be a temporary ability. Please don’t approve me arbitrarily.” Without hesitation, Rujing exclaimed, “I am not.”
