#192 ABSOLUTE vs. VIRTUAL REALITY Sept. 17th 17
Reality: absolute vs. virtual
The main goal of Zen Buddhism’s practice is to experience mindfully and in the moment our surrounding reality or truth using our senses because it is the only absolute one. The other so-called “reality” is mind-made opinion or judgment and therefore called relative truth.
Example: 2 guys are separated by a wide and powerful river.
On shouts to the other: “Hello. How can I get on the other side”.
The other guy replies” You are on the other side already”. Where is the truth?
