sarva-doṣa-vinirmuktaṃ guṇaiḥ sarvair alaṃkṛtam |
praṇamya sarva-jñam ahaṃ sarva-sattvaika-bāndhavam ||Ratnāvalī 1||
To the one free of all the faults,
To the one adorned with all the virtues,
I shall bow down, to the all-knowing one,
To the one friend of all living beings;
NOTES:
The FU of FUKAN-ZAZENGI means universal, for all living beings.
Nāgārjuna begins his lesson to the king like Dogen begins the instructions for the sitting-meditation he recommends everybody to practice -- with words that are totally empty of sectarian arrogance.
You say (though you are not even celibate) that you are a priest of the Soto Sect, following the teaching of Zen Master Dogen?
I say you are full of nonsense.
