  • Summary

  • Form Is No Other Than Emptiness, Emptiness No Other Than Form

    A nice hot kettle of stew. He ruins it by dropping a couple of rat turds in. It's no good pushing delicacies at a person with a full belly. Striking aside waves to look for water when the waves are water.

    Forms don't hinder emptiness; emptiness is the tissue of form.
    Emptiness isn't destruction of form; form is the flesh of emptiness.
    Inside the Dharma gates where form and emptiness are not-two
    A lame turtle with painted eyebrows stands in the evening breeze.

    -from Zen Words for the Heart: Hakuin's Commentary on the Heart Sutra
    (    Normal Waddell, trans)
