Knowing is identifying and recognizing, when it comes to sensing. Granted, I use it as a "technical term", here, of the body, or of body-mind. Now, what about that "Chinese"? The word for knowing in the Huang-bo and in the Platform Sutra? I wonder if you've had a look at that yet, please. Very interested to "know" your translation. Just for interest, of course. Not because it affects or changes our practice. It's for our conversation. Thanks!
