And so, embracing the Middle Path entails seeing reality as “non-duality.”
Non-duality means not grasping the extremes of believing only in everyday existence nor the complete emptiness underlying things.
Rather, it means that all dharmas = (thoughts or worldly phenomena) both exist and yet are empty at the same time.
The understanding that things are just the way they are—not simply everyday forms and not just emptiness, but both together—is the correct perception of the “suchness” of things. That means seeing things just as they are—no more, no less.
