"Mahamati, those who's minds have fallen into erroneous views of
the philosophers will
falsely imagine in the rise of all beings the reality of oneness and
otherness, bothness
and not-bothness."
-THE LANKAVATARA SUTRA
The perfect way knows no difficulties
Except that it refuses to make preferences;
Only when freed from hate and love,
It reveals itself fully and without disguise;
A tenth of an inch's difference,
And heaven and earth are set apart;
Pursue not the outer entanglements,
Dwell not in the inner void;
Be serene in the oneness of things,
And dualism vanishes by itself.
Abide not with dualism,
Carefully avoid pursuing it;
As soon as you have right and wrong,
Confusion ensues, and mind is lost.
The two exist because of the one,
But hold not even to this one;
When a mind is not disturbed,
The ten thousand things offer no offence.
No offence offered, and no ten thousand things;
No disturbance going, and no mind set up to work;
The subject is quieted when the object ceases,
The object ceases when the subject is quieted.
Know that the relativity of the two
Rests ultimately on one emptiness.
There is no "self" nor "other" ;
When description is sought,
We can only say "not two".
What is, is the same as what is not,
What is not is the same as what is.
- Zen script "ON BELIEVING IN MIND"
[Ron]
This is not to say there is no reality
there is reality and our percetion of it.
We are part of reality.
it's perception eludes to duality.
I found this text going through old books
last night, I edited it for redundace.

a few of the threads.
