Dogen Way Quotations

What is the way of the Buddha? It is to study the self. What is the study of the self? It is to forget oneself. To forget oneself is to enlightened by everything in the world.

If you want to travel the Way of Buddhas and Zen masters, then expect nothing, seek nothing, and grasp nothing.

Those who seek the easy way do not seek the true way.

People who truly follow the Way would do well to conceal the fact that they are Buddhists.

To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self.
