I found your website searching for in...Dear Roman. <br />I found your website searching for informatieon about Ikkyu. <br /><br />The translation of the " Nothing" to which Ikkyu says to be returning is rather subtle. You can read about this in het work of D.T. Suzuki. I found " The doctrin of the Buddha" by George Grimm also most enlightening about this theme. (Nu pun intended)<br />Seems the " nothing" of the sutras is by no means an empty void. And neither is your true self. It has nothing to do with the reincarnation of your " soul" , but with the nature of your essence. <br /><br />Thank you for your open discussion on the web. <br />Kind regards, <br /><br />Ed Rothfusz, The Netherlandserothfusz-chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573104642963029352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17578037.post-32065559293726432422009-01-19T16:00:00.000+01:002009-01-19T16:00:00.000+01:00I really appreciate your comments.
