There was light, but no source—only a diffuse glow that softened edges and erased distance, making near and far feel like the same mistake.

The pressure it carried weakened. The cold thinned. The emptiness cracked. It stepped forward again— And collapsed. Not violently. Not explosively. It simply… fell apart. Like a shadow losing its source of light. The others followed. One by one. Breaking. Dissolving. Fading into nothing. Silence fell over the Hollow. Real silence this time. No pressure. No presence.

I didn't 'catch fire' as they always describe it. Nah. I just disintegrated. Disintegrated into tiny vulnerable bits that only exist in this world, tiny bits that only exist in these moments. I am nothingness. I am like the swooning wind, or like a hiking rivulet running its course through a green jungle. I am free. Floating in nothingness.

a woman who loved hearing the praises of others! He racked his brain and found the poem he had learned in language class back then. “The white lotus grows out of the mud, yet it’s unsullied. It’s bathed by clear waves, yet it isn’t seductive. It’s hollow inside, and it’s straight outside. It neither sprawls nor branches. The farther away it is, the purer is its fragrance.

I thought that the real 'emptiness of all things' meant giving up all attachments and facade, but later, after being taught by a mentor, I realized that it can actually be interpreted in a different approach."

Now he did not look like the image of the former literary figure and was more like a swordsman of the world. Whenever the Buddha mantras sounded again, he was not in as much pain as before, and his anger was somewhat relieved. Sometimes he would also read the scriptures engraved on the stone wall, "One load of sand, one load of sand, one realm, within one world, a speck of dust for a catastrophe..." "A principle behind everything, such as a dream bubble, like dew or like lightning, it should be regarded as a view..." "All the principles are empty, they don't disappear nor born, they don't get dirty nor they're clean, they don't increase or decrease..."

Faith's mind. "Everything springs from emptiness, and emptiness itself is born from nothingness. Since nothing truly exists, why cling to it?" Mr. Faith chuckled, "Why strive for the impossible? Negative emotions and darkness are woven into the fabric of human existence; how could I ever hope to eradicate them all?"
