The mind, in which is the
brain, the thoughts, the feelings, and any subtle emotion or fantasy, is, according
to the Buddhists, an extraordinary thing.
All its content doesn´t create
the mind, and yet without them the mind is not.
The mind is more than what it
contains.
Without the mind the contents
would not be; without the emptiness in the nature of the mind, there can´t be
content, just like that it is the emptiness in a pot, which makes possible,
that it can contain water.
The contents exist because of
the emptiness.
The intellect - the thoughts,
the feelings, all consciousness - have their existence in the total emptiness of
the mind.
A tree is not the word, nor a
leaf, branches or roots; the wholeness of them is the tree and yet the tree is
none of these things.
