Just as it is known
That an image of one's face is seen
Depending on a mirror

So the conception of "I" exists
Dependent on mind and body,
But like the image of a face
The "I" does not at all exist as its own reality.
208. "Learn to distinguish what should be done and what not; The clever soul will always select his opportunity." ~
If an astronomer calculates from the sky
he will ascertain the paths of the moon and the stars;
but in his house the womenfolk are at variance,
and he does not perceive their various misconduct.

I am not, I will not be.
I have not, I will not have.
This frightens all children,
And kills fear in the wise.
Since all is empty, all is possible.
So, to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.

That emptiness is the relinquishing of all views.
For whomever emptiness is a view,
That one has achieved nothing.
If wanderers were not themselves the cause, then like the scent and color
of the lotus in the sky, there would be no perception of the universe.
Whatever is dependently co-arisen
That is explained to be emptiness.
That, being a dependent designation
Is itself the Middle Way.
Things derive their being and nature by mutual dependence and are nothing in themselves.
