We Are All the Same Being

Functionally… From the perspective of the atom… There's no true difference or distinction between the homeless person, laying on the ground or standing in the median strip panhandling at the light, and the person trying to bypass around them going to or coming from work.

To not appreciate this fundamental fact... we are Buddha encountering Buddha... We are Universal identity of Loving Presence encountering Universal identity of Loving Presence... is a kind of delusion... that on some level perpetuates problems for us as individuals and a society.

In the context of Zen practice, my goal... my practice... is to notice, appreciate, and respect similarities that allows for upholding our fundamental nature of Universal Loving Presence, in the given moment.
