Mirror - Mirror


Hold up the mirror to a white wall--white is reflected. Hold up the mirror to yourself on a bad hair day--bad hair is reflected. Hold up a mirror to a Porsche--Porsche is reflected. The Great Way is the mirror--not discriminating against what we think of as good, sacred, profane, wholesome, or bad. No discrimination, it's all reflected. We can be happy or sad, angry or loving. The mirror doesn't care. The mirror doesn't need my validation to be the Great Way. Ven Myeong Jin Eunsahn gives the Dharma talk at One Mind Zen on January 11, 2023.
