Avoid duality attachments...


Do not remain in a dualistic state;
avoid such easy habits carefully.

If you attach even to a trace
of this and that, of right and wrong,
the Mind-essence will be lost in confusion.

Although all dualities arise from the One,
do not be attached even to ideas of this One.


- Seng-ts'an, Third Zen Patriarch
