During a series
of talks at a week-long retreat in June, 2002, Shinzen teaches a formula:
E + M + E = I + P
(Equanimity + Mindfulness +
Experience = Insight + Purification) that reveals something deep and
powerful about the psycho-spiritual nature of human beings. While
explaining the terms in the formula, he maintains that understanding the
meaning of the words grows over time, as meditation contributes to
"vertical" learning – that is, understanding the words at deeper and
deeper levels. |
