"Enlightenment is intimacy with all things.
"-Dogen, in his book The Shobogenzo

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
Enlightenment is intimacy with all things. Essentially, this is a quote talking about non-dual awareness. This is what he means by intimacy. Intimacy means no separation. That if we are with someone or a situation, to be fully present with them, to not be outside of them, to not be judging them or opinionated about them or the situation, this is true intimacy. Intimacy means a mind that has dropped judgments and opinions, and is happy and content. Enlightenment is intimacy with all things, all situations, all events, all people and circumstances. This is Vajra nature, things that are unchanging. This is true intimacy.
