For to master the Buddha Way is to learn the self. To learn

the self is to drop the separate self from mind. To drop the

separate self from mind is to be actualized by the myriad

things of the world. When actualized by the myriad things,

one’s body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of

others all drop away. In such intimacy, no trace even of

“enlightenment” remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly.

--Dogen, tr. Cohen
