Face to Face
In
a sense, all of Buddhist practice takes place here, in this most
intimate realm: here, in the family, shoulder to shoulder with fellow
workers, beside each other on the cushion. Even alone in a cave, there
is no way out of the sense object we call the body. We meet each other
face to face, and so have all our teachers and ancestors met each other.
In this way have all the Buddhas taught. Hand to sweating hand.
