仏道をならふといふは、自己をならふ也。
己をならふというは、自己をわするるなり。
自己をわするるといふは、万法に証せらるるなり。
万法に証せらるるといふは、自己の身心および他己の身心をして脱落せしむるなり。
悟跡の休欠なるあり。休欠なる悟跡を長々出ならしむ。


To study the buddha way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away.
No trace of realization remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly.
Translation by Robert Aitken and Kazuaki Tanahashi in "Actualizing the Fundamental Point" (2000)
