This book is dedicated to the full moons. Not only is the moon a symbol for the mirror of our consciousness, but it is also a transforming agent. "The master is the possibility for this transformation...the universe our university." The running theme of Dogen's message of 800 years is the eternity of our consciousness, a consciousness with no limitations and that exists through all changes of form. Something inner which moves from one climate to another, which is beyond form, birth, death, beyond life, which simply is - isness. (less)

Dogen's ideas summarized into a nutshell goes like, "If you do work totally, as if its a prayer, as if its your first love, as if its your last day on earth", then you start experiencing steadily, your inner Buddhahood. This short, sweet book is filled with loads of fun and comic situations. I would say that this book is a coffee place, relaxing kind of a book. (less)

How Osho explains Dogen's teachings is itself a zen-like experience. While reading this book, I got so immersed in the words that I became one with them.
If there's one thing I would like to take from this book, it would be this: Do every work with your entire totality. Be completely there when you are doing something whether it's drinking tea or working in a tea garden. If you can do this, you will experience complete satisfaction and inner joy for sure. And realizing your buddhahood won't be far. (less)

Osho's unconventional presentation style becomes a good example of the out-of-the-box philosophy read. The jokes at the end of each chapter (or documented session) and personal discussions are distracting to the reader unaffiliated to Osho. Too much documentation is not good! A lesson well learned!
On the whole, an interesting read. (less)
