\nEmptiness is form. (\u7a7a\u5373\u662f\u8272)

\nSo says the Heart Sutra, but what do these lines really say?
\nThey speak of that which cannot really be put in words,
\nthat which is hinted by these words.
\nRead between the lines, to realise the truth they point at.<\/p>\n
\nto cling to either as ultimate is unwise.
\nIf form is not different from emptiness or emptiness from form,
\nthe Middle Path is to relate to both without falling to either extreme.<\/p>\n
\nto abide in activities of Samsara to guide beings to liberation,
\nto abide in quiescence of Nirvana as the liberated,
\nyet to be attached or averse to neither place or state.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthe essence of the perfection of wisdom,
\nwhich is also the essence of the perfection of compassion,
\nboth embodied as one by Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.<\/p>\n
\nthat does not freely guide others to their freedom
\nis not yet complete or ultimate freedom.<\/p>\n
