The Patience of Stones 11, The Lankavatara Sutra & The Matrix

I have just finished another short movie 'The Patience of Stones 11'filmed on Tisvile beach, i have included a quote in it from the Lankavatara Sutra' words on the nature of reality i had originally seen on the introduction to a book 'The Drop Edge of Yonder' by Rudi Wurlitzer ... the Patience of Stones series is a meditation on reality and as i began to look into The Lankavatara Sutra which from my limited reading sujests that the Reality we think is reality, is nothing but MIND ...so i remembered a couple of scenes from The Matrix. The one where Morpheus is instructing Neo about reality and the Spoon Bending scene.

The Lankavatara Sutra is the original corner stone of Zen... which to my mind at least is saying that the 'No Mind' state of Zen IS Reality..

What do you think of that zen ?
