Ungraspable and Inconceivable

“Do not be a meditator. When you sit, let it be. When you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.” --Ajhan Chah

Life is so close you can’t see it. Don’t be the rider who rides all night and never sees the horse beneath him.-- Rumi

If you ran out of oxygen,
I would breathe you. --Jeff Foster 😇

"Since emptiness seems so difficult to understand, why did the Buddha teach it at all? It is because of his profound insight into why we suffer. Ultimately we suffer because we grasp after things thinking they are fixed, substantial, real and capable of being possessed by ego. It is only when we can see through this illusion and open ourselves, in Ari Goldfield’s words, “to the reality of flux and fluidity that is ultimately ungraspable and inconceivable” that we can relax into clarity, compassion and courage. That lofty goal is what makes the effort to understand emptiness so worthwhile."
