Some interesting words from this article on Dogen’s time-being (uji):
“What do we mean by me, myself? Ultimately, if we contemplate this far enough, my self, my body, my position in space, and all that is involved with it, is all-inclusive. The whole world of location is involved – each and every place and thing.” If you really think about, ‘What is me? What is my self? Where do I end?’ I think that’s where you end up. You end up realizing that the self is all-inclusive, and each and every place and thing -- being as it is -- is time. So the self is actually all of space and time.”
