That which transcends both the self and the other, that is what my teaching is about. Let me prove this to you. While everyone is turned this way to hear me, out back there may be sparrows chirping, human voices calling, or the sighing of the wind.
But, when you are consciously trying to hear them, each of those sounds comes to you clearly recognized and distinguished. It is not you doing the hearing, so it's not a matter of the self. But, since no one else does your hearing for you, you certainly cannot call it the other!
When you listen this way to the Unborn Buddha-Mind, you transcend whatever there is.
