Dogen said

Dogen Zenji established Kosho temple near Kyoto when he was thirty-four. He said only people who already gave up fame and profit can enter this monastery. Students who have no sincere way-seeking mind cannot enter this monastery. If you have true way-seeking mind, you will not have any idea of name and profit.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-04-22-A found onshunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
