Such a good piece Kazu! It reminds me of something Austin often quotes, from Leticia Nieto, “The truth is we are one. The reality is, we are not.” I love the idea of building a bridge between ultimate and relative truths. So essential for all healing and bridge building and conflict transformation work!
Thank you for this, I once read that it is said truth is like a diamond, with many sides which I found helpful...I think in this ever increasing world of bi partisan and divisive thinking (left wing /right wing) (misinformation and truth) your article really resonates and serves as an important reminder
Thank you! I struggle with balancing the relative snd the ultimate truth. Many people I speak with I speak with do not understand how someone’s experiences can cause them to interprete the world and there for truth differently. I get criticized for speaking about ultimate truths as people think I am referring to relative truths. I needed you words. Very clarifying!
Wonderful, thank you and the original wording of the koan is not one hand clapping, it is the sound of one hand. 🤚
