Great Enlightenment
Originally appeared July 2013
Right transmission of the Great Way is handed down through the experience and practice of enlightenment; it passes from Patriarch to Patriarch without alteration, and through them, Great Enlightenment manifests itself and never ceases.
So, out of the corner of our consciousness, we peek from time to time, wondering, even so, where exactly, and when is this Great Enlightenment? The maxim we hear in practice, “great effort, no goal” approximates the attitude of right intention. What a generous discourse on Great Enlightenment Dogen shares with us!
