Life is marred by sundry afflictions. Birth, ageing, sickness, and death; union and parting, loss and gain, setbacks and frustrations; worries, despondence, and disputes-they plague and hinder us every moment of every day. With this book the author hopes, by shedding light on the great mystery of Buddhist emptiness, to guide readers onto the path to liberation. Buddhist Dharma tells us that all suffering and vexation arises from our own mind, and that if we desire liberation from them, we must start by purifying ourselves. The human mind possesses a dual nature, it contains a self aspect and a non-self aspect. The former, the self-nature of mind, is nothing more than an amalgamation of causal conditions, it does not truly exist; the latter, the non-self nature of mind-our Buddha nature-is what truly requires our attention, our illumination, because to rediscover that is the way to escape suffering once and for all. Look to nature-to the skies and the earth, to water and fire, to the sunlight and air-for the wisdom of emptiness. Allow the universal laws of nature to guide your understanding of Buddhist Dharma and your cultivation of its teachings. And just maybe, you will find your own path to freedom from life's suffering.
