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.
From "Genjō Kōan" by Dōgen - Translated by Robert Baker Aitken and Kazuaki Tanahashi for the San Francisco Zen Center
