Universal and Individual Are Not Separate: Shohaku Okumura on Opening the Hand of Thought (

- Okumura Rōshi discusses the third paragraph of page 128 of Kōshō Uchiyama's "Opening the Hand of Thought" (pages 137-138 of the 1993 Penguin Arkana version).
This paragraph explains that the individual can only experience the world from his or her own perspective. Although at first glance this might seem to close the door on any kind of universal perspective, paradoxically the individual viewpoint is the basis for "magnanimous mind" (大心, daishin), the mind that does not discriminate. This is because the individual self is nothing but the experiences of the individual self. If the self is its experiences, there can be no distinction between the experiencer and the experienced. Therefore, the universal and the individual are not separate.

Good Morning America.
Good Morning Everybody!!
Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singers, Caroline Myss, Matt Kahn, Alan Watts, Wayne Dyer, Ram Dass, Sadhguru, Krisnamurti and Bob Proctor are the great teacher to learn about life and getting a better life.
You can listen to them in CZcams.They can read your thinking. Even AI system cannot compare to them. That is amazing!!!
You are saying that there is no way that the Buddhas of the three periods of time, who experience Dharma, do not have the same understanding? I would say, there is no way to confirm It......I would say, that they are all subject to different conditions.
