To study the buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.

But when you practice intimately and return to where you are, it will be clear that there is nothing that has unchanging self (Dogen Quotes)

There is a simple way to become buddha: When you refrain from unwholesome actions, are not attached to birth and death, and are compassionate toward all sentient beings, respectful to seniors and kind to juniors, not excluding or desiring anything, with no designing thoughts or worries, you will be called a buddha. Do not seek anything else (Dogen Quotes)
Life and death are nothing but the mind. Years, months, days, and hours are nothing but the mind. Dreams, illusions, and mirages are nothing but the mind. The bubbles of water and the flames of fire are nothing but the mind. The flowers of the spring and the moon of the autumn are nothing but the mind. Confusions and dangers are nothing but the mind (Dogen Quotes)
Be mindful of the passing of time, and engage yourself in zazen as though you are saving your head from fire (Dogen Quotes)

Yet you must not cling to the words of the old sages either; they, too, may not be right. Even if you believe them, you should be alert so that, in the event that something superior comes along, you may follow that (Dogen Quotes)
There is no beginning to practice nor end to enlightenment; There is no beginning to enlightenment nor end to practice (Dogen Quotes)
Mountains and oceans have whole worlds of innumerable wondrous features. We should understand that it is not only our distant surroundings that are like this, but even what is right here, even a single drop of water (Dogen Quotes)
Zazen is an activity that is an extension of the universe. Zazen is not the life of an individual, it’s the universe that’s breathing (Dogen Quotes)
