KYOSEI’S THIRTY BLOWS 正法眼蔵 四十二

Wherever you stand still
you can see the rainbow
but walk to find its end
this one or that one
and it will be gone
on your arrival.
Sit in the fine mist
and look at the earth –
how many colors
do you see?


A reflection on case 42 of the Shobogenzo (Dogen’s True Dharma Eye)
