Episode Synopsis

Dogen writes the following:

The migrating bird leaves no trace behind and does not need a guide

This freedom from form and attachment, from past ( trace) and future (guide), this complete action, absolute and yet transitory is our practice. Koku is found in this wondrous life, in this body-mind. Totally experienced, it is forgotten. Once forgotten, it is realized.
