The gift of seeing

There is looking and then there is seeing. The gift is seeing...

"All the varous objects of experience are like the moon reflected in water neither really true nor really false. Those appreciating this do not lose the view."
--Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna was a 2nd century Indian sage who is credited with establishing the Middle Path school of Mahayan Buddhism. Perhaps this is all mumbo jumbo to the reader. Thats OK. What is striking about Nagarjuna is the absolute clarity in his philisophical writtings.

This image was taken from of my office window. It is the summit of Mt. Ranier peeking through a cloud layer.
