2939 lol 1 — I eat when I am hungry. I sleep when I am sleepy.
The fool laughs at me, the wise man recognises me.

*Shakyaminou*

2939 lol 3 — Does a cat have the nature of Buddha?
Mu!
*Meow*

2939 lol 4 — My painting is without rules, the fundamental law of Buddhism is without rules.
*Sengai*

2939 lol 5 — Form and substance are like dew on the grass,
destiny like a flash of lightning,
vanished in an instant.
*Fukanzazen*

The 108 luminous Dharma Gates

The Dharma Gates are teachings coming from nature and from sutras. They lead - if they are put into practice - to the awakening and a happy life, in accordance with this awakening.

The main Gate is zazen, the Zen meditation. But Buddha gave many more teachings which also lead to the awakening. An old sutra (which Master Dogen added to his Shobogenzo) contains 108 “Gates”, because they are the key of an unlimited enjoyment, as the Bodhisattva who presented them said.

You will find in this volume the last 62 Gates, translated and commented by Master Roland Yuno Rech.
