Practice-Realization
Shōbōgenzō
Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: Zen Master Dogen's Shobo Genzo. Edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi.
To study the self is to forget the self.
— Dōgen, Genjōkōan
Why it belongs
Dōgen makes practice itself the teaching. The Way is not a doctrine to hold but a manner of sitting, walking, working, and seeing—realization inseparable from the act.
Echoes across the paths
The same structure, carried in other images—one tradition's metaphor mapping onto another's.
