Universal Reality

Notes from Norm Randolph talk

• Kosho Uchiyama:  Commentary on Dogen's Refining yourself or 'How to cook the self'
• Suzuki: 'You can't have attachments'...not as in 'you should not have attachments', but rather, literally, it the sense of Universal reality, it is impossible for there to be attachments...in the dualistic sense...if there is nothing without self-existence, then nothing can attach to anything.
• The three minds:  Magnanimous Mind (the mind that recognizes the oneness, the inseparability of all phenomenon), Tender Mind (the mind that strives to respect and regard all other manifestations of mind with compassion), and Joyful Mind (the mind that enjoys the view from non-attachment)

•
