“If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?”
― Dogen
There's a snow storm here in New York City and it's a big one. Mainly wind really, and I think tons of snow. I wonder how did the first settlers manage these Winters man?
It is helpful to me though because I can find an excuse to read \ uninterrupted.
I was reading a saying by the Zen master Dogen.
I'm like let's see what his biography was like! And it turned out the man didn't find the truth where he was in Japan but he traveled to China and found it there, and went back to Japan to teach it.
The key lesson here is get your lessons from people that are already dead, that's one, and the second is always double check the context. Because essentially what he said didn't mean what we think he meant.
You have to travel far and wide to find the truth that's for sure.
