Thank you, Daizan. A great teaching. It made me realize I was forming fixed views.

Thank you, Daizan. Is is said that the advanced practitioner must let go of all teachings before he, or she, can attain enlightenment.
Precisely because the teachings are a form of upaya.

The only thing advancing in me is fatigue and my waistline. But there is a maturing or easing up, just from running headfirst into the same walls over and over again . Taigu talked once about being a cow chewing grass. The cow just chews the grass, the cow is the grass and the grass is the cow. It made me laugh and I remembered it.

Daizan, this teaching triggered some understanding about dualism and relieved some fixed perceptions that drive to dualism.

This post really helped me to let go (for now) of a cycle of questioning and just sit.

Thank you Daizan.
