Phenomenon is the Relative
Principle is the Absolute
 Form is the Relative

Phenomenon and Principle interpenetrate
Yin and yang are in equilibrium
The Unity is seen in the many
The many is seen in the One
Accepting differences
As building blocks of life 

Alliance of civilizations is the offspring
