Both Solid and Empty

Yutang Lin

Without hindrance, as clear as empty sky;
Unison, in and out, acting on a solid mind.
Reason and emotion fuse into accordance;
Pure joy spontaneously rises from within.

Comment:

Views free from grasping, mind remains open;
Mind pure and simple, always reveals the truth.
Wisdom and compassion in unison, both grow;
Digesting boundaries to pacify matters arising.
