Re: Sticks & stones will break my bones ...

 

Victor,

 

Thank you for your words of insight. When I was in India last year, there

was a man who had been a Tibetan Buddhist monk for many years. I invited

him to lunch, and in my arrogance I alluded to a guided meditation that I

said was a "duality". He looked at me a bit quizzically with a confused

look

and replied matter of factly, "There is no duality." I was shocked by the

reply, as he didn't say that the meditation was without duality. The point

being that the truth is not dependent upon the apparent duality or

non-duality of a situation. Moreover, one who has realized non-duality is

not afraid of duality or operating there within. Our friend Huang Po said

"the truth is not more when realized, and is not less when it is not." The

whole incident was a humbling reminder. Why are so many people so scared of

duality or better stated apparent duality, what are they defending? Your

email reminded me of that event and I wanted to share it with you. Write

soon, I enjoy your emails.

Dart and leave no track behind.

The sages journeyed to the Self.
