Psalm 91:1-4 (New International Version)

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

“To suppose that practice and realisation are not one is nothing but a heretical view; in buddha-dharma they are inseparable. Because practice of the present moment is practice-realisation, the practice of beginner’s mind is itself the entire realisation.”

“Those who practice know whether realisation is attained or not, just as those who drink water know whether it is hot or cold.”

- On the Endeavour of the Way.

“You should know that in the buddha’s house we do not discuss superiority or inferiority of the teaching; nor do we concern ourselves with the depth or shallowness of the dharma, but only with genuineness or falseness of practice.

There are those who, attracted by grass, flowers, mountains, and waters, flow into the buddha way. And there are those who, grasping earth, rocks, sand, and pebbles, manifest the buddha’s seal. In fact, although the boundless words of the buddha overflow among the myriad things, the turning of the great dharma wheel is contained inside a single particle. In this sense, the words “Mind itself is buddha” are like the moon reflected on the water; the teaching “Sitting itself is becoming buddha” is like the reflection in the mirror. Do not be concerned with the splendour of the words. By showing the excellent way of direct transmission by buddha ancestors, I am just recommending the practice of the immediate realisation of wisdom, hoping that you will become true practitioners of the way.”

- On the Endeavour of the Way.

Dogen.
