Pluck out the Buddha eye
and sit in its hollow! -- Dogen
If thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out! -- Jesus
At some point, the eye of our
spiritual teacher becomes a glass eye.
We know this point in others
when we see them get all glassy-eyed.
It is harder to see in ourselves.
These days many revere themselves as in the know.
Ah Ha! we say -- they need some eye plucking.
Forgetting that the eye we see in others is our eye.
Pluck you.
