Upside-down

"Because of our upside-down views, we look at trivial matters and believe they are essential, and we look at essential matters and think they are trivial. This is completely upside-down. So we must try to make that upside-down view right-side-up. Only then, as the Heart Sutra says, will we discover Nirvana. And Nirvana is nowhere else but in this inhalation; in this exhalation."

Eido Shimano Roshi
