To the extent that we can remove ourselves from this world of longing and loathing that we create for ourselves, we make it easier to see how we get caught up in our own spinning minds. We can then begin to realize that Zen practice has to do with simplifying our lives, with not being taken in by this or tossed about by that. We can start to see that it’s not in the world “out there” that we get caught, but in our own minds— within our own attitudes and assumptions and emotions.
Though it manifests in countless forms, Reality is only one way—it could not be otherwise. And all who see, see the same thing.
