Eiheiji tourist information

The main attraction in the town is Eiheiji Temple, which was established in 1244 by Zen Master Dogen and is the head temple of the Soto Zen school. A famous poem by Dogen:
所谓研究佛道,即为研究自己
所谓研究自己,即为忘掉自己
所谓忘掉自己,即会证悟万法
所谓证悟万法,即会自他之身心究竟解脱
To study the way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget self is to be enlightened by all things.
To be enlightened by all things is to remove the obstacles between
oneself and others.
