Summary
Master Dogen says that the basis of doing right is not a moral, intellectual decision but a decision we make intuitively with our body and mind. Right action is decided just at the moment of acting, not in our mind alone: in Buddhism we make decisions with balanced intuition, prajñā, so something in our body and mind decides, and then we think about it.
