A BUDDHIST PIECE ~ Poets Corner

THIS PIECE SPEAKS FOR US TO TAKE TIME TO MARVEL AT ALL THAT WE HAVE.

If I am holding a cup of water and I ask you,

"Is this cup empty?" you will say, "No, it is full of water."

But if I pour out the water and ask you again, you may say,

"Yes, it is empty."

But, empty of what?

Empty means empty of something. The cup cannot be empty of nothing.

"Empty" doesn't mean anything unless you know "empty of what?"

My cup is empty of water, but it's not empty of air.

To be empty is to be empty of something.

This is quite a discovery.

Unknown.
