    In Buddhadharma the word “understanding” is used in a way that’s at odds with ordinary philosophy. It refers to a knowing that has three characteristics: ineffability, non-divisiveness, and being devoid of subject and object. Ineffable means understanding is not an idea. Non-divisive means its emergence is without any mental conflict. In a word, it’s peaceful. Devoid of subject and object means one is no longer disposed toward a rational basis for understanding. It’s direct.”
