Shed views and interpretations that are based on concepts such as victory and defeat, self and others, right and wrong.

Once the ground of mind is clarified, there is no obstruction at all – you shed views and interpretations that are based on concepts such as victory and defeat, self and others, right and wrong. Thus you pass through all that you reach a realm of rest and tranquility.

Yuanwu Kekin 1063-1135
in Zen Essence: The Science of Freedom, Thomas Cleary
