When all the Buddhas manifest themselves in the world, they proclaim nothing but the One Mind.

The philosophic outlook rises above all sectarian controversy. It finds its
own position not only by appreciating and synthesizing what is solidly based
in the rival sects but also by capping them all with the keystone of
nonduality.

In the strictest sense, we cannot actually think about life and reality at all, because this would have to include thinking about thinking, thinking about thinking about thinking, and so *ad infinitum*. One can only attempt a rational, descriptive philosophy of the universe on the assumption that one is totally separate from it. But if you and your thoughts are part of this universe, you cannot stand outside them to describe them. This is why all philosophical and theological systems must ultimately fall apart. To 'know' reality you cannot stand outside and define it; you must enter into it, be it, and feel it.
