« I realized one day that the self is programmed to refuse. It is therefore more a question of "letting up" than of accepting. Accepting is still work for me. "You have to accept": this imperative requires work. The phrase of the Diamond Soutra that I quoted keeps coming up in the words of the Buddha, and could be summed up as follows: "The Buddha is not the Buddha, that is why I call him the Buddha." It's a non-fixing exercise. »
