Re: All the trees in the yard are speaking

Dogen Zenji said in Genjo Koan, " when one side is illumined the other side is dark" Yes, all are one ... one beyond one ... yet we must live in this dualistic world sometimes seeing more of one face than the other.

Hi.
Yes, but it is also important to remeber in darkess there is light, and in light there is darkness.

PS- A fitting topic, given the recent "dust up" at Dogen Sangha. :?

What "dust up"?
And what happened to

I always avoid intra-Buddhist disputes.

? :twisted:

And remember "The Ox will kick up lots of dust while clearing the field"

Thanks Jundo and Taigu. I think enough's been said for now and I'll mull it over. Much appreciated as always.

Just for the record, Jundo, I've experienced your compassion, kindness, wisdom, and sincerity first hand, and I think these are the qualities of a great teacher. Glad to know you.

Deep gassho,
David
