Imagination

I told the zen master about the Playmobil figures, the feeling of being an empty puppet among other empty puppets. Clearly with his teaching about emptiness in mind.

 

Emptiness, by the way, understood as the fleeting way of the universe, empty of our ideas and concepts that we constantly take for real.

 

He took out his sword and slashed my Playmobil figures.

 

No, he said.

 

This is not emptiness. It is just your imagination.

      Dankjewel! Jaaa puppits zijn puppets, aangepast! Afgelopen dagen was ik off radar in de bergen van Wakayama. Morgen pas naar Toshoji, het loopt allemaal een beetje anders (en ik loop achter met m’n blogs – not enough time).
