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

Cracking the Code ofthe Zen Koan Part VII:The Seamless: Zen in placeand positions.Zen Saying: “Not a snowflake landsin the wrong place.”Zen, like Kashmir Shaivism,includes all as and this andthis. There is no need to changeanything.It could be said that anything isinterdependent with everythingthat happens. And depends onanything and everything elsethat happens. In this way, anger,sadness, birth and death are alldependent upon each other. Inshort, being seamless, there is noseparate “you” which can changeanything as a separate entityseparate from anything else.How might this apply in terms ofthe first three of Buddha’s FourNoble Truths?79
