By misunderstanding the Heart Sutra, I encouraged my own one sided practice. Or, through my own one sided practice I misunderstood the Heart Sutra.
Lian-chieh composed this verse:
Seeking it from others is forbidden.
For thus it becomes further and further estranged.
Now that I go my way entirely alone,
There is nowhere I cannot meet it.
Now it is just what I am,
Now I am not what it is.
Thus must one understand,
Then one accords with True Suchness.
Practicing my own "shattered mirror Zen", or not, I have grabbed myself by the nostrils.
Thank you for your teachings Count Chambulain.
