Nirvana and samsara won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times: the empty nature of samsara is itself nirvana. Not seeing the empty nature of nirvana is itself samsara.
Pure Awareness and afflicted mind won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times. The empty “knowing” nature of the afflicted mind is itself Pure Awareness. Not seeing and knowing the empty nature of Pure Awareness is the afflicted mind.
The ego-self and no-self won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times. The empty nature of the ego-self is indeed the no-self. Clinging to the empty nature of the no-self is indeed itself, the presence of the ego-self. The imagined non-existence of the one, is the imagined existence of the other.
Wisdom and ignorance won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times. Seeing the empty nature of the ignorant mind, is itself wisdom. Not seeing the empty nature of wisdom is indeed ignorance not seen.
Obstacles and release won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times. The empty nature of obstacles is their own release. Not seeing the empty nature of freedom and release, we are bound and obstacled by our own freedom and shackled without release.
We won’t find peace and turbulence in separate places nor in separate times. The empty nature of turbulence is itself our long sought peace. Not seeing the empty nature of our peace, we turn peace into turbulence, like crashing waves that never seem to cease.
The Buddha Mind and samsaric mind won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times, the empty nature of the samsaric mind, is the nature of the Buddha Mind, as all karmic thoughts self-release.
Not seeing the empty nature of our current state of mind, we hope for a future transformation and release; by clearly seeing the empty nature of our current condition, as being the Buddha Mind itself, all seeking and suffering cease.
The material universe and its empty nature, won’t be found in separate places nor in separate times. The form of emptiness isn’t other than the emptiness of form.
