Where can I find a text that explains the two truth doctrine in simple words? Near to the original? thanks

In shadows where thoughts collide, the ink spills forth, a restless tide. Unruly whispers, tangled and raw, echo the chaos, a silent law. Each stroke a stumble, a dance unplanned, like wandering steps on shifting sand. Yet in the mess, a truth may gleam, from the depths of the mind, a fractured dream. So let the words spill, let them roam, for in the wild, we find our home. Through the clumsy, the awkward, the flawed, we carve our path, and in that, we're awed. (spontaneous poetry by ChatGPT created to @Nungalis last haiku.) & bye for now.

hello, it might be my lack of good schooling, but I wondered if there are some other methods of exegesis / interpretation of texts in the asian cultural hemisphere? some stuff comes naturally to me, and others just stays cryptic, no matter which interpretation I use. could you list your methods? thanks.

an illusion, ?

Could we please get a lightbulb emoji to react with 💡and one that says “there’s more to your post than meets the surface” … I would propose a stone cast in the water drawing circles or the like.⛲️ The lightbulb is different than thanks. Thanks to me is insightful teaching. Lightbulb is something that is interesting but not necessarily path wise and refers to something that has been bothering one for a long time in the dark. Wow is not the “deep!” reaction. Wow is more shock or surprise. Not the deep contemplation or a impulse that influences and gets stronger with time. I don’t want to appear confused all so often!

I find this insightful and it comes as a confirmation of some conclusions I made for myself, as working hypothesis. Just walk your path.

Cutting through means realizing there are none or one. Doesn’t make much difference at that level. but what’s to take from there to functionality? nothing. Can’t make anyone understand it only if they have experienced it themselves. Compassion without an I or with an I. … it leaves straw dogs ? I’m lost here… can someone help please?

What about the diamond sutra and/or the heart sutra? Is it implied there indirectly or am I mis-interpreting? @Taoist Texts pls don’t leave me hanging here… is that correlated to what @stirling meant by reactions to it could either be the recognition of “I AM” or “emptiness/possibilities”? people need to get outta their diamond cage @Mark Foote ? what am I missing here?
