Stories of Wisdom - December 2006

Dreaming inside Dream

December 13th 2006 19:22

Zhang Wu Zi said to Ju Que,
A person having a dream is never aware of it, and in his dream he might even do things like predict his own fate. Only after he wakes up does he realize that he was dreaming. Only the truly enlightened person realizes that life is just one big dream, and then there are those fools who are actually is still dreaming who think that they are the enlightened one. You and I are both dreaming. When i say you are dreaming, that is mere dream talk.
---
Only those who have great doubts can truly be enlightened. But a fool always believes that he is enlightened, and that is why, in the end, he is a fool.

Excerpted from ---Zhuangzi: The Music Of Nature---
