An approachable version of the Diamond Sutra March 1, 1998
20 out of 40 found this review helpful
A is not A. Does this famous bit of illogic from the Diamond Sutra mean anything? Douglas Adams parodied this as "simultaneous tea and no tea" in one version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And it is the Scylla and Charybdis that destroys Franny in J. D. Salinger's almost forgotten novel. It seems to say "1 is not 1", that is, that one is many. This is the starting point for Thich Nhat Hanh's activist view of the interconnectedness of all things -- what might be called the ecological view of being. Martin Luther King, Jr. nominated Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1969, honoring his long life as a Zen Buddhist monk and his leadership in what was known (so long ago!) as the Vietnamese Peace Movement. Thich Nhat Hanh cautions the reader to study the sutra first, before allowing herself to be influenced by his commentary. After all, he says, it may still be possible to notice something new! (For example, is it not logic at all, but something like "x = !x", i.e., a programming instruction to assign the negative of a variable's contents back to the variable?) The curious thing is, the prajnaparamita literature is one of the coldest streams in the flow of Buddhist thought, and yet it has consistently produced the bodhisattvic ideal, this ecological view that all beings must participate in nirvana, or none do, that there is no personhood in isolation, that no one would willingly go to heaven if she had to leave a child in hell.
