enter the gate of nondualism

“How then does the bodhisattva enter the gate of nondualism?”

Manjushri replied,

“To my way of thinking, all dharmas are without words, without explanations, without purport, without cognition, removed from all questions and answers. In this way one may enter the gate of nondualism.”

Then Manjushri said to Vimalakirti, “Each of us has given an explanation. Now, sir, it is your turn to speak. How does the bodhisattva enter the gate of nondualism?”

At that time Vimalakirti remained silent and did not speak a word.

Manjushri sighed and said, “Excellent, excellent! Not a word, not a syllable – this truly is to enter the gate of nondualism!”

(From Vimalakirti Sutra, quoting from Nichiren Shonin)

Nondual, No Forms, No birth

Interesting quote from the Garland Sutra

“All Buddhas know all things are fundamentally nondual,
yet they can produce the wisdom capable of awareness and understanding.

All Buddhas know all things fundamentally have no forms,
yet they can produce the wisdom of understanding all forms.

All Buddhas know all things have no birth or extinction, yet they can produce the wisdom of understanding birth and extinction.”

The Flowering Fire

All burns in a great suffering,

feeding the fire of unending desires,

a flower grows at its empty core.
