“She saw that all phenomena arose, abided, and fell away. She saw that even knowing this arose, abided, and fell away. Then she knew there was nothing more than this, no ground, nothing to lean on, stronger than the cane she held. Nothing to lean upon at all, and no one leaning… And she opened the clenched fist in her mind and let go, and fell, into the midst of everything.” - The moment that Teijitsu, 18th century abbess of Hakujuan, near Eiheiji, Japan learned to let go.

How come?

Fair point. My only hesitation is that people in all kinds of religions, and even some with no religion, talk about finding peace, purpose, and meaning through their beliefs or way of life. So I’m not sure those experiences tell us much about whether one particular worldview is true.

I’m not sure the evidence supports a connection between commitment to Jesus and favorable outcomes in this life. Some of the most faithful people have suffered terribly, while some of the least religious have flourished.

I think this image is really about perspective, not truth. Different viewpoints can reveal different aspects of reality, but that doesn't necessarily mean there are multiple truths. As Cloud Atlas puts it: "Truth is singular. Its 'versions' are mistruths."
