| Quotation | In the afternoon, musing on the Prajna paramita Sutra, out at the top of the hay field, really saw it (instead of simply understanding that there was something in it to see). And really laughed! It means exactly what it says, and yet one does not break through. To break through everything! With whom does emptiness shake hands when it shakes hands with itself? |
