This book is dedicated to full moons. The moon is not only a symbol of the mirror of our consciousness, but also an agent of transformation. "The teacher is the possibility of this transformation... the universe is our university." The recurring theme of Dogen's message over the past 800 years is the eternity of our consciousness—a consciousness without limitations that exists through all changes in form. Something within that moves from one state to another, that is beyond form, beyond birth, beyond death, beyond life—that simply is—issness.
