Shu Sho Ichi Nyo - Practice And Awakening Are Not Different

Master Dogen teaches that practice and awakening are one and the same thing, there is no difference. Shu Sho Ichi Nyo. There is no difference between practicing and realization. If the practice is right, if we practice with a mind that doesn't get trapped in anything, that is if we constantly bring it back to this simple construct of embodied awareness and breathing, here and now, the mind becomes totally free.
