Additional quotes by Dōgen

The time of our delusion does not obstruct the time of our realization. Our practice is not in order to attain realization. Practice itself is the actualization of realization.

When we break through the barrier and drop off all limitations, we are no longer concerned with conceptual distinctions.

Zazen is not learning to do concentration. It is the dharma gate of great ease and joy. It is undivided practice-realization.
