All Functions

Zen means “all” or “total” and ki means “functions,” so zenki means “all functions” or “the total function.” From the Buddhist standpoint, we can say that this world is the realization of all functions. Master Dogen explained this state of the world, quoting the words of Master Engo Kokugon that life is the realization of all functions and death is the realization of all functions.
