It is not existent - even the Victorious Ones do not see it.
It is not nonexistent - it is the basis of all samsara and nirvana.
This is not a contradiction, but the middle path of unity.
May the ultimate nature of phenomena,
limitless mind beyond extremes, be realised.

The Tao is a Silent Flower
The Tao is a silent flower which blooms through the night,
But the night through which it blooms is the flower itself.
No Tao, no flower, no bloomer, no night.
And for this reason, it blooms.

I believe the poem above was written by Raymond Smullyan and appears in the first edition of 'The Tao is Silent'
