Michele Pasin / Quotes

Pensiero non duale e coraggio dei samurai

L’epistemologia buddhista inclina alla coltivazione di un pensiero non duale. Finché si ragiona per opposti non si coglierà mai il nucleo della realtà. I samurai buddhisti lo concepiranno nei termini della loro prospettiva esistenziale: la vita e la morte sono strettamente vincolate l’una all’altra. Ciò darà loro la forza di spingersi in battaglia senza timori, sfruttando al massimo le forze.
