This is my third answer...! Please stay with us for a while longer!
Is this the truth of this world...! It's difficult to put this into words.
Because words and interpretations are always a set. As long as words are used as a medium, there is no escape from interpretation.
Words seem surprisingly dexterous and clumsy.
So, I would like to introduce the story of someone who tried to convey the difference between the truth of the world (= the truth you mean) and interpretation.
It's a story called “Nenka Smiles.”
Buddha's sermon from one day.
I brought one flower, stood in front of everyone, and smiled.
His apprentice Makakaba captured his true intentions and smiled back.
... and that's it. Wow, how simple it is!
I am good at getting between “truth” and “interpretation.”
Buddha, that's a perfect balance! that's too nice!
What do you think? ... did you notice anything?
... Now, let me “interpret” the “truth” through my words.
The degree of “interpretation” is higher than that of a scene in “A Smile”.
Truth is an undifferentiated world before it is identified by reason and emotion.
It's the so-called “as-is” state, isn't it?
“Everything” exists, and since it is a state where it doesn't matter, “nothing (whether expressed in words)” at the same time.
(Furthermore, as a side note, if we trace various human emotions, such as anger and sadness, to the root, they are classified as either “pleasant” or “uncomfortable.” However, “truth” goes beyond the “interpretation of emotion” with the names “pleasant” and “uncomfortable.” (So, expressions such as “the truth of sorrow” in the streets are unfortunately appropriate and have disappeared!)
That's it. What do you think? ... did something catch your eye?
I've explained it up to this point, but...
Common understanding (= common interpretation) is only established because we mutually perceive the object. This means that no matter how many questions you ask, unless you perceive “truth (truth)” in the correct form, I don't think you'll be convinced no matter what kind of answers you get from anyone.
That's probably why the Buddha “smiled,” and the ancestors put together zazen meditation, chanted nenbutsu, and went to ascetic practice with one move at a time. Therefore, we are following their example, and we definitely want you to do the same.
That's why I'm rolling it down to ashes!
