Q. What is the meaning of ‘Although I say that I have to see him, he is neither he nor you’? – Zen Fools

A. Earlier than enlightenment, we’re informed that we should always see the true-Self, the Buddha. We even outline enlightenment as seeing or realising it as if there have been distinction and distance between us topic, and the true-Self object.

Nevertheless, as soon as now we have attained enlightenment, that’s, as soon as now we have seen it, we come to the realisation that the true-Self is not any apart from ‘I’ and that phrases akin to ‘I’ve to see the true-Self’ can’t be established since we’re neither separate nor completely different from the true-Self. Due to this fact, ‘he’s neither he nor you’ implies that the Buddha is none apart from me ‘I’.
