“The Way does not leave this very place. So why set out to seek it elsewhere through practice?”
Dōgen
To the card
大都 means roughly “on the whole” or “in general” and is left untranslated in the short version. Later Dōgen expressly calls for earnest sitting practice; the sentence does not reject practice as such.
