    To save all sentient beings, though beings are numberless.
    To penetrate reality, though reality is boundless.
    To transform all delusion, though delusions are immeasurable.
    To attain the enlightened way, a way non-attainable.

    Thanks, Will.

    I particularly like the Dogen quote :To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening.

    Gassho,

      To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening.
      A classic.
