Simple and Simplistic

Simple: easily understood by using a clear mind based on lateral thinking, questioning what and why so that we may realise ‘an’ answer to a situation in the moment now. In Sanskrit, this is called Madhyamika = taking everything away until only the essence is left – or what we recognise as essence.

Simplistic: treating problems without a clear mind, superficially using vertical thinking of learnt answers that do not suit the situation but make it more complex. This is called confusion = adding on everything until there is no possibility of clarity.

Simply see for your self
– not even through a Buddha’s eyes.
