The Zen of Advaita - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

Diamond Sutra: “I shall liberateall beings, and I have liberatedno beings… All beings are said tobe no beings.”That which never begins is thename used for the Absolute.Nisargadatta Maharaj:“Birthless”In the same way when the Buddhacalls something the perfectionof wisdom he is negating itsimultaneously, because it is inwords. Simply stated there is noperfection or imperfection priorto words. Again this can be bestcalled the doctrine of NO.Noted philosopher Martin Heideggeroftentimes wrote words with an Xthrough it as follows…I X am X I, X toillustrate this point.The Buddha MindIn Buddhism it’s all mind which isone mind made of consciousness.Naturally, as we will see later,this is given and then taken awayas a teaching approach.65
