Conversations about Zen parables: “The One is your mother. The One is not indifferent to you. Let this truth penetrate your heart as deeply as possible, because just the realization that the One rejoices with you will change you. Then you are not isolated, then you are not a stranger here. Then you are not a homeless wanderer, then this is your home. And the One surrounds you with maternal care and love. So it is natural that when one becomes a buddha, when one reaches the highest point, the whole existence dances, the whole existence sings, the whole existence celebrates. And that's literally true. This is not a metaphor, remember, otherwise you will miss the whole point."
