“There is no scarcity of beautiful scenery. The flowers know how to laugh, and the birds know how to sing. The autumn leaves shrivel. Situations are just as they are. There is nothing to pursue. “ - Dogen
Emily brings us Dogen at his most poignant and poetic as he gives us a rousing pep talk for practice, complete with inspiring stories and exhortations on giving up everything except for all of the bounty you already possess in every moment. Fame and profit? Who needs it. The body? No big deal! Its the endless path of existential ease, and Dogen and Emily are the perfect team to inspire us to it.
