11. "Avalokitesvarra, the great Boddhisatva of compassion,

Sun Oct 4, 2020, 10:10 AM

Oct 2020

While practicing the insight that brings us to the other shore,
Suddenly realized that all 5 skandas are completely empty.
And so Shariputra, form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
Form is no other than emptiness, and emptiness is no other than form.
The same is true of feelings, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.
All are emptiness."

-- excerpt from the Heart of Wisdom Sutra
