Layman Pang said in verse,
Mind is thus, objects are thus;
There is nothing substantial and nothing empty.
Unconcerned with existence and untrammeled by nonexistence,
This is not a saint or a sage,
But an ordinary man done with concerns.
Easy, again easy, these five clusters have true wisdom;
The worlds of the ten directions are one vehicle,
The same formless body of reality—how could there be two?
If you abandon affliction to enter enlightenment,
Where is the Buddha land?
- Cleary's Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching
Abandon affliction to enter enlightenment? Sounds familiar.
How about nope.
Worshiping riches and fighting poverty - no matter what kind of life you lead there's still 'better' and 'worse'. Now that the world is wising up to hypocricy, maybe we can make some progress on greed soon, since we're so well connected now?
