More From Dogen

Once the law, properly enacted, is routinely ignored, and ignored with the blessing and the promotion of the political class, then you have a breakdown of organized society. and there is nothing compassionate about what's happening to the people of arizona. there is nothing compassionate about the violation of private property rights. there is nothing compassionate about the abuse of the taxpayer. there is nothing compassionate about the closing of schools and hospitals. nothing at all compassionate about increased drug trafficking and crime. nothing compassionate about that at all.
School Blessing Rights
Refraining from all evil, not clinging to birth and death, working in deep compassion for all sentient beings, respecting those over you and pitying those below you, without any detesting or desiring, worrying or lamentation - this is what is called buddha. do not search beyond it.
Compassion Evil Worry
If grief or anger arises, let there be grief or anger. this is the buddha in all forms,sun buddha, moon buddha, happy buddha, sad buddha. it is the universe offering all things to awaken and open our heart.

Veganism is about nonviolence. it is about not engaging in harm to other sentient beings; to oneself; and to the environment upon which all beings depend for life. in my view, the animal rights movement is, at its core, a movement about ending violence to all sentient beings. it is a movement that seeks fundamental justice for all. it is an emerging peace movement that does not stop at the arbitrary line that separates humans from nonhumans.
Peace Animal Rights
When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."
Real Understanding And Love
Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.
Honesty Integrity Love You
