Key philosophical principles

At the core of Dogen’s teaching is a consistent pointing to nonduality as the awakened view of reality. The opening verse of the Genjokoan urges students to go beyond superficial dualistic thinking on all matters.

As all things are buddha-dharma, there is delusion and realization, practice, and birth and death, and there are buddhas and sentient beings.

As the myriad things are without an abiding self, there is no delusion, no realization, no buddha, no sentient being, no birth and death.

The buddha way is, basically, leaping clear of the many and the one; thus there are birth and death, delusion and realization, sentient beings and buddhas.

Yet in attachment blossoms fall, and in aversion weeds spread.

(Tanahashi 1985: 69)
