ASCENDING TO THE HIGH SEAT, DOGEN ZENJI SAID: "ZEN MASTER HOGEN
STUDIED WITH KEISHIN ZENJI.

ONCE KEISHIN ZENJI ASKED HIM, JOZA, WHERE DO YOU GO?'


HOGEN SAID, 'I AM MAKING PILGRIMAGE AIMLESSLY.'

KEISHIN SAID, 'WHAT IS THE MATTER OF YOUR PILGRIMAGE?'

HOGEN SAID, 'I DON'T KNOW.'

KEISHIN SAID, 'NOT KNOWING IS THE MOST INTIMATE.'

HOGEN SUDDENLY ATTAINED GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT."

NOW MEDITATE OVER EACH WORD of this small anecdote; it contains all the great scriptures of the world. It contains more than all the great scriptures contain -- because it also contains not knowing.
