Day 85 of 100 – Seeing Buddha Everywhere
That Old Guy, Dogen is often quoted as saying “To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by everything”. I’ve come to understand this to mean that when you teacup is empty, you can put anything in it (Miss Queer Divine Dissatisfaction gave a recent example of the teacup filled with shit and grumpy drag queens). This also means that you can find Dharma and Buddha everywhere if you look…well if you look by not looking or with eyes that do not see or some cryptic Zen shit.
Anyway, the point is, I was out on the front porch this morning and I’ll be damned if I didn’t find Buddha right under my sage bushes.
Where will you find your Buddha today?
