On the Nonduality of Good and Evil:

Buddhist Reflections on the New Holy War

 

David R. Loy

 

...."The final word I have to offer on this choice is neither

Christian nor Buddhist, reminding us that no religious traditions

have a monopoly on this wisdom. It is an anonymous story (I could not

trace its source) that was included in an email I received after

September 11th.

 

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how

he felt about the tragedy on September 11th.

He said, 'I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One

wolf is vengeful, angry, violent. The other wolf is loving,

forgiving, compassionate.'

The grandson asked him, 'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?'

The grandfather answered, 'The one I feed.' "

 

 

[David Loy has also written a book : Non-duality - Studies in

Comparative Philosophy - Yale Univ. Press, 1999. Deals with

Buddhism,and Advaita].

 

 

Regards,

 

Sunder
