Ramana Maharshi said virtually the same thing .... that the world is reflected Light.
My understanding is exactly that as well.
Good poem by Dogen. It is more literal than most people would ever suspect.  |

Yes substantiality is the road most thread upon
Mixing up certainty with substantiality. There is absolute
certainty in our world if nothing else. (or maybe there isn't ) lol

Reality is an illusion created
Entirely within the human mind
But it's the only place you can get
a decent Cup of Coffee.

To express yourself as you are, without any intentional, fancy way of
adjusting yourself, is the most important thing.

Today's begging is finished; at the crossroads
i wander by the side of hachiman shrine
talking with some children.
last year, a foolish monk;
this year, no change!

Born Thirty Years Ago by Han Shan
Born thirty years ago, I wandered
the world thousands and thousands of miles -
tramped the lush green grasses by many rivers
far as the swirling red sands beyond the frontier.
Seeking immortality, I concocted dangerous potions,
scoured sacred texts, labored long over epic poems.
At last, led to Cold Mountain, in its icy waters
I soaked my head & scrubbed the dust from my ears.
