The Chengtaoke (Song of Enlightenment) was written by Yyungchia Tashih, a disciple of Huineng. I can only give you my take. I think he wanted a shock pointing to " there cannot be anything outside Buddha Nature. " That ignorance is simply a misunderstanding of 'what is'. Oneness and duality are both concepts. The Absolute is as nonexistence as the relative. The relative as real as the infinite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
