To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.” Centuries later, these enigmatic words from his seminal “Genjōkōan” (\u003ci\u003eActualizing the Fundamental Point\u003c\/i\u003e) are still studied in Zen communities the world over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what did Dōgen really mean when he encouraged studying the self to forget the self?
