In the Tao Te Ching, it's written:
"Thirty spokes share a wheel;
yet it is an empty center
that makes it useful.
You can mold clay into a vessel;
yet, it is its emptiness
that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows
from the walls of a house;
but the ultimate use of the house
depends on space where nothing exists.
Therefore, something is shaped into what is;
but its usefulness comes from what is not."
So now this sherpa, roaming mountains and valleys, drifting like clouds, flowing like rivers asks you as YOU... Where is the emptiness upon which You as YOU authentically turns? Shikantaza! Just sitting! Notice!
