The
Heart Sutra states: form
is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form. Form is emptiness,
emptiness is form. And the same is true for sensation, perception, conception
and consciousness.
Hakuin comments: “Striking aside waves to look for water when the waves are water! Forms don’t hinder emptiness; emptiness is the tissue of form. Emptiness isn’t destruction of form; form is the flesh of emptiness… Form and emptiness are not-two. If you pass these strange apparitions without alarm, they self-destruct. Forms sensation perception conception are sparks in the eye.”
Buddhist Illogic is divided into 12 chapters and 2 appendices.
