The Matter of Truth
One
finds in Buddhist tradition a distinction between “words” and
“meaning,” which are often very different from one another, and we would
do well to consider the traditional advice—whether we are looking at
statues or interpreting teachings—to pay attention to symbolic meaning
and not be limited to literal meaning.
