The Simple Way, Part 43

The Simple Way
The Life & Teachings of Zhouzi
by Scott Bradley


A monk who had recently realized Unity stood before Zhouzi and said, “Master, it disturbs me to think that so few of the world’s untold millions, both living and extinct, will ever or did ever know the peace of this way, or any other.”

“But this is Reality!” exclaimed Zhouzi. “And do you think there is any true difference between you and they? You have realized harmony, yet harmony is harmony’s only reward. And it, like all things, will soon pass away. Yet since nothing is ever gained, nothing is lost. There are those who divide Reality, teaching a salvation from a delusional world, but in this way, there is only what is and nothing to save. All is equally united in the one Reality.”
