Symbolizing Non-Duality: Musings on the meaning of the Taijitu (Yin/Yang symbol)
The Chinese Taijitu symbol is a beautiful illustration of non-duality. It contains both poles of the duality - yin and yang, the feminine and the masculine, passive and active, dark and light - whose relation is always in motion. The symbol shows their interdepence by illustrating that each pole contains some of the other, implying that reality cannot be reduced to one or the other pole - black or white, yin or yang.
