Emptiness

02/13/2024
When some-thing and its non-existence
both cease from the mind, 
the mind itslef rests in peace, 
such tranquility knows no bound. 

You ask what is real and what is not. 
I answer just watch your mind. 
All things become clear
when the mind loses interest in its 'things'

To understand emptiness, 
we need to know suffering.
Like a magician who creates
mirages of women for his entertainment, 
and forgets his own illusion, 
we all have become slaves of our conditions. 

Then what must a man do?
How must he approach his life?
The wise sage, always states:
To do no evil, to help the needy, 
and to rest the mind in stillness
is all that is needed...
