Before the birth of mother and father,
One solid circle;
Even Shakyamuni didn’t understand it –
How could Kasyapa transmit it? (quoted in the Book of Serenity)

    Tell us about the circle–is it the circle Dogen saw from the ship? Is it the burning circle I see this morning in the orange eastern sky?

      The circle that Dogen drew in the air with his whisk? The circle your mind is looping as you consider the problem?
