Why Life is Illusion

A profound meditation on emptiness and causation — why nothing has an individual self, yet everything can appear.

---

Why life is illusion?

I can not come from I

I can not come from others

No I, who is thinking?

Real I, where does it come from?

---

Life is an illusion
Illusion is empty
All comes from our hearts

Life is an illusion
The system of life is causation.
Causation is cause and effect.

Because joining causes creates new effects, and new impacts become new causes, the change force never ceases to appear in everything.

Therefore, each cause is created by others and has no individual self; thus, each cause is truly empty.

Empty, yet it can appear; that's why it is an illusion.

未曾生我誰是我，生我之時我是誰；
來時歡喜去時悲，合眼朦朧又是誰。
夢裡明明有大千，醒來空空無六趣。
非有非空，本來心。
逍遙自在，慈悲道。

善哉 善哉

我今圓覺觀自在
道音妙法心無碍
妄有執著本無生
念念生滅本不來

善哉 善哉

夢中見滾滾紅麈
醒來時空空無人
覓生悟了不可得
無生法豈有法忍
