Opinion, Barking and the Truth

"Human beings understand too much. But what they understand is just opinion. Like a dog barking. American dogs say:"Woof woof". Korean dogs say: "mung mung". Polish dogs say: "How how". So which dog barking is correct? That is human beings barking, not barking...Take away your opinion, then what. What is left? That is the point. Take away your opinion,your condition, situation. Then your mind is clear like space. Clear like space means clear like a mirror. A mirror reflects everything...If your mind is clear like space then you see clearly, hear clearly, smell clearly everything is clear...that is truth."
