Summary
When our sight is clouded we see two moons, even though there is only one real moon. Chinese Buddhism uses the image for mindfulness: if we are not mindful, it is like having two moons, and when we are mindful, there is only one moon; in the old koan stories monks ask each other whether they have got two moons. One moon is mind empty, two moons the trap of mindfulness.
