Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.
The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide
and great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon
and the entire sky are reflected in dewdrops on the grass, or even in one drop
of water.
Enlightenment does not divide you, just as the moon does not break the
water. You cannot hinder enlightenment, just as a drop of water does not
hinder the moon in the sky.
The depth of the drop is the height of the moon. Each reflection, however
long or short its duration, manifests the vastness of the dewdrop, and
realises the limitlessness of the moonlight in the sky.
Dogen (1200-53), Japanese Zen Buddhist teacher
