Good morning!
Zendo, Zen Hall, is also called Senbutudo, Selecting Buddha Hall. The true truth seekers constantly come here for the true solution of suffering.
What Dogen means in his Inmo is that we never attain the true solution by false ways – there is no way to rise up by the ground, even if we fall down by it.
We never attain the solution by the triple poisons or karmas or mundane means. We attain it only by Inmo, the ultimate truth, beyond these grounds.
We can attain unconditioned peace, unsurpassed awakening, amrita, only by no poisons or no karmas or supramundane solutions, Suchness or Shûnyatâ.
There is no majority rule on truth – Dharma, Buddha, and Sangha. However many falsities we may add up, we can never reach truth or the true solutions.
That is why Dogen said,
If you wish to attain suchness, devote yourself in suchness at once…Practice in such a way (Zazen) constantly and you will never fail to attain suchness. The treasure house opens by itself, and you will appreciate and use it at will.
There is no such way of appreciating and activating the treasures without cultivation, without verification, and without constant concentrated practice.
