Forms are Empty, Emptiness is Form

Ananda, The material is not different from the empty, the empty is not different from the material, the material is empty, the empty is the material, and the senses, thoughts, actions, and ordinances are all like this.

色不異空 空不異色 色卽是空 空卽是色

Colors are Empty, Emptiness is color.

The term "color" refers to the phenomenon of materialization unfolding rather than to the material itself, and the term "Empty" refers to the law, not the concept that a material does not occupy any place. If we regard this as the original meaning of Buddhism, it is possible to interpret 'the phenomenon that is revealed on the surface is represented by the invisible dimensional law, Buddha nature.

Color refers not to color but to all phenomena with entities, including substances that are often thought of. A substance is an action that is induced by law and changes, and even if it changes and disappears, it changes into another. Therefore, since there is no object of obsession and defilement, it means to wake up from the dichotomy.

It is often mistaken for Buddhism as an empty teaching from interpreting it as being hollow in the everyday language life of modern world. According to recent Buddhist studies and interpretations, the "Empty" means a condition full of vigor, that is, full of vitality.Some physicists do not believe in Buddhist law, but they are limited in physics, and in fact, they are made up of voids with a great distance between atoms and electrons compared to the size of atoms. It is his freedom, but it is a misinterpretation of his teachings and ultimately a source of misunderstanding of Buddhism.

In the first edition of other version of Kikuchi Shotta's book "hi-bo verta", "color is sky, sky is color." The word "sky" (Empty Space) means "sky" in Japan, so it is a simple misinterpretation that the translator did not know the blasphemy.

There are many people who think that they are confused or equally empty, and this is a different concept.

Nothing means that there is no being, and empty means that something seems to exist but in fact it does not exist.

Material comes from the Empty space, is dependent on the space, and returns to the space.

So matter is not self-existent, it is not eternal, it is empty.

The Empty is that it contains color, but because we misunderstood that it is Empty so here saying color.

Color refers to things that are visible, that is, they have forms and shapes, and occupy space.

It means that there is no empty, but it means that it is full even though it seems empty. That is, the whole universe is empty.

The essence of law is empty, but it is everywhere.To make it easier to explain, there is a desk, which is made up of wide boards, legs and nails. When these are separated each other, the desk disappears. Legs, boards, nails can not be called desks. In other words, the desk was not originally there. So it's a empty. Legs, planks, etc. were burned off, they were not original ones, but a combination of other substances for a while, which is also a empty. But are they completely gone? No. It just changes to another substance. Just before the substance changed, it was called a board, a desk. So the whole universe is. There is no self that makes a desk a desk. It's just what people call a desk when they see it. Despite the fact that the desk is not original, the mind of the person (this is also the empty) has caused the thought and decided the name. This is called color.Let's say there is a big rock here. Then people would sit there or graff it. Let's say that we made a Buddhist statue by pecking the rock. But then, people do not sit there or graff it. Then I think it is rather wrong behavior. Originally it was a rock, but it was a change in the meaning of Buddha images as people recognized it. Everything depends on your mind. It is also the key to giving important lessons to the rebirths who do not know the essence of the world work and turn to the phenomenon only.

If everything is fixed entity, there is no change.But everything changes because there is no substance. Everything changes.

Color exists as cause and effect. The Acting.

All things that exist not only in matter but also in all things exist in tie,bondage, that is, acting.

And Color exists as Emptiness.

So, there is a meaning of acting is empty.

The cause and effect is empty.

So there is a saying that a person who sees the act, sees the law.

The reality of the realm is empty, and the essence of all laws is empty.
