As it says in the Teachings, by the real truth we understand that it is not existent; by the conventional truth we understand that it is not nonexistent. That the real truth and the conventional truth are not two is the highest meaning of the holy truths. This is the most esoteric, most abstruse point of the doctrinal schools.
Foyan says we must make both truths equal. Bodhidharma says "Empty, without holiness." These I follow. But I can't pin down the difference between conventional and real truth. Any help would be appreciated.
