We naturally accept the fact that human beings make a distinction between oneself and others. However, this distinction or barrier is only the standards and disciplines established by the majority of modern society. In other words, this distinction is considered to be arbitrary. In this paper, I criticize this arbitrary distinction, and I reveal the flexible and unobstructed place.First, I explain the significance of animals by using the Heidegger’s text, Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik : Welt-Endlichkeit-Einsamkei. Next, I explain the perspective of children and myōkōnin 妙好人 (sublimely excellent people of Shin Buddhism). I think that they are equally the beings who are standing on the flexible and unobstructed place. That is to say, they have the perspective of interpenetrative place.Finally, I reveal the importance of the interpenetrative place by using the thoughts of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra (Jp. kegongyō 華厳経). I think the thoughts of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra have the clue to resolve the conflict between individuals.
