When you look in the mirror
do you see yourself?
Is the you in the mirror
another you?
If you say it is merely
a reflection of you
are you a reflection of it?
You imagine you are real
and the mirror you
imagines he is real.
Both real, both illusions.
A reflection on Case 78 of Dogen’s Shobogenzo Koans (True Dharma Eye) 正法眼蔵
