Earth, river, mountain:
Snowflakes melt in air.
How could I have doubted?
Where's north? south? east? west?
-- Zen Master Dongai’s poem on his deathbed
When form disappears, there is no emptiness to speak of. When the illusory mind disappears, true nature disappears as well. When the illusory mind does not move, true mind is not there. ….neither illusory mind nor true mind exists.
--Sheng Yen, Song of Mind
Nobody dies, death means finished; for example, a drop of water when it evaporates has become infinite. There is no death for anything, everything finishes to become infinite…..The idea of rebirth is a concept, because for something to be reborn something has to die. What is dead? Nothing is dead. Who is there to be reborn? No one was born.
-- Nisargadatta Maharaj
The question of what will happen to me when I die is indeed as misconceived as the question of what happens to my lap when I stand up or to my fist when I open my hand.
-- Ramesh Balsekar
The body exists, or seems to, because you believe in death. Body and death are part of the same illusion.
--Eckhart Tolle
Reincarnation is a fantasy. Existence has never had a form that could be repeated. It’s forever unformed. The shifting of galaxies on the far side of the universe is the same shifting event of our bodies and minds. This happening has never become anything in particular; it’s only shift and flux. There’s no thing becoming some other thing; there’s one great unformed presence remaining unformed.
--- Darryl Bailey
Form is precisely emptiness,
And emptiness is precisely form.
-- the Heart Sutra
If nothing is permanent, what can be impermanent, both, or neither?
-- Nargajuna
