Duality and Seamlessness


Compassion for all beings, can be experienced, when I recognize the saint and sinner in me, and not identify with either of them.

If an experienced Zen teacher is asked  to describe enlightenment by presenting simple or complex viewpoints before him, his response most often is "Not that, and not that either."
There seems to be a deep correlation between the ability of being skillful in the world and getting over self.
