Seeing Nothing
Perception that there is nothing to perceive -- that is Nirvana, also known as deliverance.
How can there be perception when we are confronted by nothing at all? We go on perceiving whether objects are present or not. Hui-hai
When I behold and am in that Good, I remember nothing of the humanity of Christ, of God inasmuch as he was man, nor of aught else that had shape or form; and albeing I seem to see nothing, yet do I see all things. Angela of Foligno
Seeing into one's self-nature is seeing into nothingness. Seeing into nothingness is true seeing and eternal seeing. Shen-hui |
