It’s like this: The high plateau does not produce lotus flowers; it is the mire of the low swamplands that produces these flowers.
Vimalakurti
(C’est comme ceci: Le haut plateau ne produit pas les fleurs de lotus; c’est la boue des marécages en-bas qui produit ces fleurs.)

It is a statement not AGAINST separation but FOR nonseparation!
It is saying yes to whatever arises — even no.
We say close the gap between your self and your Self.
If you want to cross the ocean of suffering
You must take the ship with no bottom
Hyo Bong
Another statement against seperating from life and pro plunging in.
