A few years ago a young monk translated my book into Japanese. In the preface, which I wrote at his request, I referred to a story connected with the subject of this book. In 1957, I accompanied a Cambodian monk on a visit to Chairman Mao Zedong. Before the guest arrived I had the opportunity t chat with the Chairman. He told me, “There is a formula in Buddhism: Zhao Puchu is not Zhao Puchu (in the sense of Paramattha), but Zhao Puchu by name. Is this true?”“Yes.” I replied. He added, “Why, then, do you affirm it before negating it?”“It is not affirmation before negation,” I said, “but simultaneous affirmation and negation.” Then the guest arrived and the conversation was interrupted. Later when I worked on Chapter 2 of this book, I recalled that unfinished talk. I think the idea of the voidness of nature because of Dependent Origination (Paticcasamuppada) in the book might constitue what I would have said to the Chairman at that time.
