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.
Become blind in order to see.
ReplyDeleteYah? Well, pluck you too!!
ReplyDeleteActually, your point is very well taken, George. ;-)
