Get Up Where You Fell Down
In
Genjokoan, Dogen writes, 'Those who have great realization of delusion
are buddhas.' The place where you get to be Buddha, so to speak, is in
delusion, and there’s plenty of that to go around. You get up where you
fall down. You don’t get up somewhere else. It’s where you fall down
that you establish your practice.
