Buddha...how to become a Zen Master!

There is a simple way to become a Buddha
( according to Dogen)

For starters,
refrain from unwholesome actions

And,

do not be attached
to birth
or
death

Show compassion towards all sentient beings!

For instance,

be respectful to Seniors

And,

kind to Juniors

Do not exlude anything

or be tempted

 by
desire

Have no designing thoughts

or
worries

And, lastly

Do not seek anything!
