Dogen’s Doei (道元道詠): Poems in the Way, 10

 

Poem made on “the entire ten directions being the true

human body”:

 

Isn’t there a true human

In this wide world?

No limit is seen

In the great sky color

 

Jin-jippō-kai shinjitsu-jintai-wo eiji-tamau

 

Yononakani

Makotono hitoya

Nakaruran

Kagirimo mienu

Ōzora-no iro

 

詠尽十方界真実人体給ふ

 

世の中に

真の人や

なかるらん

限りも見えぬ

大空の色
