Samsara is nirvana

 


Brad Warner is a Soto Zen teacher, musician and super-nerd, who apparently used to work in Japan for the Ultraman franchise. Here, he discusses the Mahayana concept of "samsara is nirvana", but without actually mentioning it. 

Maybe the supernatural is *here*, in our world? We just can´t perceive it, just as we can´t understand, say, dolphin communication. Unless we adjust our very way of seeing, that is. And if we do, maybe samsara suddenly looks like a mansion of mirth...

Not sure if I buy that perspective, but there you go.
