By DonationResource Dharma Talk

If myriad things return to one, where does the one return to? The realization of Zen lies in deeply embodying the understanding of two key principles: sameness and difference, or alternatively, oneness and diversity. In our exploration, we will examine these principles and highlight their dynamic balance as essential to living an awakened life.
