In summery the gestalt that occurred is a composite consisting of two insights which supplies spiritual orientation when used in conjunction with Fu Ren’s direction to the Buddhist Wheel of Life.

They are passing to each other the sacramental chalice of that wine which imparts the deepest joy that men and women can know. They are subtly weaving the invisible cords that bind husband and wife together more truly and more firmly than the priest of any church. And if in the end — as may or may not be — they attain the climax of free and complete union, then their human play has become one with that divine play of creation... |
