"Clouds Gentle, Water Boundless: The Life and Death of National Teacher Daiō" is Dōshō's first talk for the September Sesshin 2018. In the talk, he focuses on the importance of lineage. Daiō, an essential link in our lineage, was a contemporary of Dōgen, but much less well known. Here's a verse he wrote after returning from China: "Clouds gentle, water boundless/The universal gate appears, do not slight it/The pilgrim Sudhana did not yet know he had it/Walked in vain to a hundred cities through fog and cold."
