Emptiness includes the sun, moon, stars and planets, The great earth, mountains and rivers, All trees and grasses, Bad people and good people, Bad things and good things, Heaven and hell; They are all in the midst of emptiness.

“Do not sit with a mind fixed on emptiness.
If you do, you will fall into a neutral kind of emptiness.
Emptiness includes the sun, moon, stars and planets,
The great earth, mountains and rivers,
All trees and grasses,
Bad people and good people,
Bad things and good things,
Heaven and hell;
They are all in the midst of emptiness.”
