"Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken. Take heed. Do not squander your life."
-Shobogenzo.

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
This is a quote by the Zen master Dogen. He is exhorting us to wake up to take our situation seriously, to not just waste time and sleepwalk through our life. This is a wonderful message. It's showing that things are important. Our life matters. It's not a frivolous situation because if we really understand suffering, it's not just a slogan. It's not just a kind of a cliche. It's a real thing. Suffering really matters. When we suffer or suffer deeply, we realize that things are not good to remain helpless or be the victim, is not really a great option. So, what the master, the Zen master here is telling us is wake up, pay attention and seize the opportunity. Take charge of one's life. This is very encouraging words.
