65 Illusory
Originally there is no place [for the six senses dwelling].
Any place is true dharma.
True dharma is thus illusory.
Illusory existence is not nothing.
ĐỊNH HƯƠNG (? - 1051)
(COMMENT: If you say that you are living in a dream, then what is
outside this dream? Is this world illusory? Don’t try to answer that
question. Just practice hard, and don’t mind anything else. Buddha said,
“I am awake.” We are not awake yet, so we should leave that question
for Buddha.)
