Loved this. Great pic too!
The Turtle in the Garden
A monk saw a turtle in the garden of Daizui’s monastery and asked the
teacher, “All beings cover their bones with flesh and skin. Why does
this being cover its flesh and skin with bones?” Master Daizui took off
one of his sandals and covered the turtle with it.
Janet, I like your answer and the picture is a wonderful addition to it. Eventhough I understand and interpretet the question in terms of that we can act and react from fragmented parts of ourselves, I find the question in itself implying that in reality there is something as a higher and a lower self, which to me is kind of fragmented to start with…
Thank you all for stopping by.
Larry, I like the story even though I’m not sure what it means:-)
Thank you Lucienne, I think the first order of business is to find my inner unity, and stop fragmenting myself into pieces. It’s like the popular gurus who claim they’re teaching non-duality, but keep wanting people to speak from the “two sides” of themselves. I am, simple as that. I may have fixations on different things, or different types of behaviors, but those are not ME.
…and I'm listening to your(our) message! Hugs and blessings, Janet!
