In another of these verses, Ryokan uses the skillfulness of the Buddha's teaching about his life span to affirm Dogen's primary teaching about the oneness of practice or cultivation with accomplished realization:

It is said the Way should be cultivated and achieved,

But it is true folly to regard the latter as separate from the former.

If sentient beings did not have a variety of minds,

The Tathagata would not expound various teachings. (82)83

Despite the variety of teachings, for Ryoakan, as for Doagen, every aspect of practice at every stage completely expresses the ongoing enduring fulfillment of the awakening of the Lotus Sutra Buddha.
