God and Creatures : Unity and Parts

K.Wong

God is Unity of contigent beings
Emptiness is Unity of contigent conditions
Contigent beings are multiplicity of Unity
God is Unity of Existence
Emptiness is Unity of Existence
God equals Emptiness

Conditions are parts of Unity
Parts exist  become of Unity
Devoid of unity, parts do not exist
God  is like a Mirror
Images are the creatures of Mirror
Without mirror, images do not  exist.

Images appear and disappear
The mirror is always there
Creatures are like images of God
They appear and disappear
But God is always there.
The parts never exit autonomously

All myriad things or beings are just images
They are only parts designated diversely
Designations are merely mental constructs
They are illusory and unreal
Only the hidden Unity is real
The Real and unreal are mutually dependent

The unreal are food for the Real
The Real is also food for the  unreal
This is a  bipolar world of phenomena and principle
Most of us live in only half of the bipolar world
Acknowledging the secular and rejecting the spiritual
This willful ignorance is the cause of suffering

Editor’s Note:

All major world’s religions expound the bipolar Reality of the relationship between phenomena and the principle. Whoever discerns this interrelationship discovers the communal Truth of religious wisdom which bridges insightful inter-faith understanding  between apparently dissimilar religions. There are many paths. All paths lead to the communal Truth of Wisdom. Creatures are merely conditioned phenomena created by the reciprocal relationship between the phenomenon and the Principle. The Principal Order is Brahman, Tao, Buddha, God or Allah.
