EMPOWERMENT

I must understand

That all the things I see, feel, hear, taste and touch

Our experiences of existence

Are deceptive.

Things do not exist in the way they appear to exist

For they seem to exist independently from my mind

As stand alone phenomena

Outside of my mind.

The truth however, is that all appearances and also our reactions to these appearances

Are actually illusory, existing in the same manner in which dream appearances exist

Implying that the interactive relationship between all phenomena and ourselves

Are actually the play dance of emptiness, creating our theatre of experience

That we so thoroughly believe in.

By bringing the dream analogy into our present experience, our grasping at the prevalent illusion that has captured us for eternity begins to dissolve, into a mere appearance to mind.

This is the wisdom of Buddha
