257 - One Reality, Many Descriptions Part 5: The Two Truths of Absolute and Relative – Part 1
The Zen Studies PodcastAbout this episode
The Two Truths teaching is another classic Chan/Zen description of Reality-with-a-Capital-R. Reality has two aspects, often called relative and absolute. I call them the "dependent dimension" and the "independent dimension." I describe this teaching and discuss why it is so important to our practice.
