Understanding "Uji"

All forms flow as time. Without forms (vast emptiness) there is no time. Thought is time. "Objects" are time. Is silent illumination time or not-time? Is it being or not-being? Silent illumination, shikantaza, is "just sitting". It is "silent" illumination because it is resting in awareness. Resting in awareness is absent of thought. Resting in awareness it is non-dual. Is time still present in the absence of thought? No. Enlightenment is seeing Oneness. In Oneness there is no self. The "I" is the silent illumination of awareness. But, to be Oneness, it must include All. "All" entails all time, all being. All does not exclude thought, the word. Dogen is saying in Uji that time cannot be outside, cannot be duality. Form is emptiness and emptiness is form. Form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form. 2600:8801:1103:B500:5533:F249:C0A0:67A5 (talk) 18:42, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
