The Nature of Reality
Reality cannot be expressed by conceptual knowledge or by written and spoken language. A person who has never tasted a mango cannot know its taste, no matter what and how many words someone uses to describe the experience. We can only grasp reality through direct experience.
The nature of all things is unconditioned and can be called “suchness,” or “Tathata.” Suchness is the nature of all things. From suchness the lotus arises. You and I arise from suchness. We can call someone who arises from suchnessa a tathagata , or one who thus comes.
Teaching is from Old Path White Clouds by Thich Nhat Hanh, Photograph by my me.

I love Thich Nhat Hanh’s work. I am currently reading The Art of Conversation, slowly to get the fullnes of its “suchness.”

You really make it appear really easy with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be really something that I think I’d never understand. It seems too complicated and very vast for me. I’m taking a look ahead in your next post, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!

You really make it seem really easy together with your presentation however I in finding this topic to be really one thing that I think I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely extensive for me. I am having a look forward for your next submit, I’ll try to get the hold of it!
