The Buddha-dharma is immeasurable and unlimited. How could it ever have been made to fit into your categories?
No matter what you are grasping for, it’s limited.
In any case, only things for ordinary people can be grasped. Grasping for money, clinging to health, being attached to position and title, grasping for satori – everything you grasp only becomes the property of an ordinary person.
Letting go of ordinary people’s property – that’s what it means to be a Buddha.
– Kodo Sawaki, ’To You’
