Bodhidharma’s ‘Truly seeing’ (3)

0
35


Really seeing will not be seeing what’s seen, however seeing what will not be seen. Really understanding will not be understanding what is thought, however understanding what will not be identified.

Scholar: “What’s it to know what will not be identified?”

Grasp: “It’s to know that the solar is spherical.”

Scholar: “That’s to know what is thought. I do know it, too. What will not be identified?”

Grasp: “The solar is cubic.”

Commentary:

What is thought is only a tiny half of what’s unknown.
