Emptiness.
In the depth of his heart Vasili Andreevich knew that it could not yet be near morning, but he was growing more and more afraid, and wished both to get to know and yet to deceive himself.
Tolstoy, Master and Man
Reading about Chinese concept of emptiness (空) and absence (无) in Zen and then find out that for the first 500 years there are no representations of Buddha in art. Just a tree or an empty chair.

Lockdown Sutra: thoughts on the Lankavatara Sutra and lockdown. Zen Buddhists were originally known as Lankavataran’s because that text was so central to their thoughts on practice. It is not an easy read. Esoteric and confusing. It also helped the group to keep in touch over the last year, and connected with our practice. Https://bit.ly/mcrchanzine1

Quote shared via Kindle: "Old P’ang said, “Just resolve to empty all that exists: don’t make real all that doesn’t exist.” Just master these
“I always teach emptiness / to transcend eternity and annihilation / samsara is like an illusion or dream / but karma is relentless”

The layered bloom of hills and streams
Kingfisher shades beneath rose-colored clouds
mountain mists soak my cotton bandanna,
dew penetrates my palm-bark coat.
On my feet are traveling shoes,
my hand holds an old vine staff.
Again I gaze beyond the dusty world-
what more could I want in that land of dreams?
- Han Shan 106 trans. Red Pine
