A. Based on the Avatamsaka Sutra, all types, the whole lot is an expedient the Buddha presents sentient beings with. For this reason historical masters would say that we may attain enlightenment if we are able to merely see or hear solely a single factor as it’s. In different phrases, there is no such thing as a different true-Self than what we see and listen to each day.
Every little thing we see and listen to each second is the shape and the sound of the true-Self. It’s not as a result of the true-Self hides itself, however as a result of we’re deluded by illusions that we don’t recognise it. The very best expedient I like to recommend is to attempt to see and listen to issues as they’re, that’s, to see and listen to issues with out attaching any names to them. Should you can see only a single factor as it’s, that’s the finish of your observe.
