Our usual understanding of life
is dualistic, you and I, this and
that, good and bad. But actually
these discriminations are
themselves the awareness of the
universal existence. "You" means
to be aware of the universe in the
form of you, and "I" means to be
aware of it in the form of I. You
and I are just swinging doors.
This kind of understanding is
necessary. This should not even
be called understanding; it is
actually the true experience of
life through Zen practice.
