Don't seek emptiness.

We've heard the phrase 'emptiness,' so don't be empty. Try to understand. Try to see the body as it is, observe the mind as it is. Sooner or later, you will see that the body is under the three characteristics, and the mind is under the three characteristics. Anything that is not constant is suffering.
What is suffering should not be clung to. The mind becomes free when it lets go. You don't have to yearn for emptiness. Don't seek emptiness. The more you seek, the less you find. Learn about the body, learn about the mind, and see their nature as being under the three characteristics. One day, it will collapse on its own. The body and mind are like the world; they are not a self, not a person, not an animal, not us, not them. They are manifestations that arise and pass away due to causes and conditions. They arise and cease.
