GYOZAN’S HIGH AND LOW 法眼蔵 二十三

Stand on the hill
and look into the valley.
Stand in the valley
and look upon the hill.
Do you see yourself
in either place, do you
see yourself in both
or are they one place
hidden from your vision.


A reflection on case 86 of the Shobogenzo (Dogen’s True Dharma Eye)
