In this chapter, we discuss the treasure. What is the treasure? Very often I quote Zen Master Dogen's «Shobogenzo 正法眼蔵». "Shobo 正法" means authentic manifestation (=right teachings); "gen 眼", an eye; "zo 蔵", a storage.
The treasure is your hologram (=eye storage).
★★★
There are some spiritual treasures in Chapter 62.
One of them is Shinran and Honen's Akunin shoki setsu 悪人正機説: the Doctrine of Evil Persons as the Object of Salvation.
"Even good people will become Buddha, not to mention evil people". (Shinran)
(☞See 62-3)
★★★
Another is 自未得度先度他 [Ji mi toku do, sen do ta].
"Though you haven't crossed it yet, let others cross it first."
(☞See 62-7)
★★★
There is also a maxim of Chuang Tzu.
"Don't move until you are forced to".
(☞See 62-7)
