what is the world full of?
many will say that :"the world if full of suffering, it is empty." this may express by some of the buddism. but, please do not get the meaning wrong…it is depend on hw a person interpret the sentense. let it be well understood. everything arise in the world will have a itself a source of suffering; however if one does not grasp n clinging on tat thing, there is no suffering.
it is empty? many of the learner will easily influence by this word "empty". ya, this is what the Buddha would like to teach us. in buddist perspective, the emptiness is empty of self or anything belonging to a self, nothing can be taken as being a self. the word is to tell us to live in full awareness that all things are devoid of selfhood. it is a mind state that view the entire world as something empty and does not grab or clung anything as being self. bare in mind, it doesn’t means don’t care of everything…but aware of everything…n try to practice n study.
actually the world is full of things that arise, persist, and cease. it is a instrument for us to studying, practising, obtain the fruits of practice…
