For five hundred years it’s been covered with dust
just because no one has had an eye for recognizing dharma.
Nobody has asked whether it is a jewel or a pebble.
Now when I take the
Record of Eihei Dogen and examine it,
the tone does not harmonize well with usual beliefs.
Inside this teaching, other’s never any shortcoming.
Thus I thoroughly studied the master of all things.
Everywhere I went I devotedly practiced the true dharma eye.
Arriving at the depths and arriving at the vehicle—how many times?
