NOTHINGNESS II

These fishermen or farmers are considered ‘nothings’ in society, yet the mastery of their element ensures our continued survival. To go ahead and describe nothingness is to define something-ness, but to quote Kalu Rinpoche’s principle: “We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.”
