10 Emptiness
Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
Emptiness is form, and form is emptiness.
Don’t cling to any form or emptiness --
That’s the true meditation.
Y LAN (11th century)
(COMMENT: Just look at your body, your feelings, your thoughts; they
were changing swiftly since the day you were born. So you have had
millions of bodies, millions of feelings, millions of thoughts -- which one
is your true body, true feeling, true thought? Your body, your feelings,
your thoughts can manifest as millions of forms, because forms are
indeed emptiness just like illusions appearing in the mirror. If you cling
to anything as form or emptiness, you are chasing the illusions.)
