« Back from Nonduality »

So... Soto Zen. SO-to Zen: a collapse of S(ubject)-O(bject) dualities, i.e. a collapse of ego-mind. so-TO Zen: from mind TO no-mind. SO-TO Zen: from the mind of dualities TO S(ubject)-O(bject) collapse of no-mind. And back, of course: from here to infinity, from the samsara of subject-object dualities and back to the nirvana of no-mind.

But make no mistakes: the "to" of Soto Zen is not a path but a coordinate, not a going-to but a being-here, a process (as they say), not a destination, a process of being one-with rather than a case of another biped chasing a non-existent Shangri-La.
