Emptiness - Blossoming
of Life Itself
Emptiness
is not a tasteless, bland, impersonal void of meaninglessness.
Emptiness is me, emptiness is you. Do we not have character? Do we
not have personality? Emptiness has character, more than anything
else, in fact. It is not the fault of emptiness if those who exercise
emptiness and try to understand it, lack character. See, the problem
is that samsaric minds of people cannot avoid creating fantasies
about emptiness which inevitably always misses the mark. To realise
emptiness means to really become the person you already are. You
know, buddhist art is abound with ornaments and decorations. Those
ornaments symbolise character and creativity, the blossoming of life
itself that by nature is empty.
