:36:00
There's a wedding party.
:36:02
How delightful.
:36:09
That's the second step...
:36:11
but it's still not true illumination.
:36:14
So, what is this?
:36:16
The Single Spirit.
That fruit is only appearance.
:36:20
But the real Buddha
is beyond such differences.
:36:24
Right?
:36:25
That's the third step.
:36:28
At this point the truth
is both far and near.
:36:32
So, then, what is this?
:36:37
Isn't it an apple?
:36:38
No, dear, you don't understand.
:36:41
You have to see
beyond material form.
:36:45
The Master himself will tell you.
:36:50
It's an apple...
:36:52
just a humble little apple...
:36:56
small and red...
:36:58
and bruised on one side...
:37:00
but at the same time
it's the Buddha...
:37:04
and the Single Spirit.
:37:07
Things return to being things...
:37:11
but the Enlightened
sees at the same time...
:37:14
Oneness and Manyness...
:37:17
appearance as well as substance.
:37:22
- Do heaven and hell exist?
- Who are you?
:37:26
A painter.
An American painter.
:37:28
Let me see.
:37:31
Cut off my head!
:37:39
Come on,
cut her head off!
:37:41
It's one of Lao-Tse's fables.
:37:45
Go on!
:37:48
Behold, the gates of hell
are opening.
:37:52
And now, the gates of paradise.
