detachment from dichotomies; transcending dualities
Rare Buddhist term referring to a state beyond dualistic thinking, such as objectivity vs. subjectivity or self vs. other.
In Zen, the state of detachment from dichotomies is sometimes taught.
Alternate reading; less common than りょうぼう.
From 両 (both) and 忘 (forget), literally 'forgetting both sides'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is used in Buddhist contexts to describe a state beyond dualistic concepts.
