Update, December 2023:
Empty Light
In the mind's light, where appearances play,
Unlocatable and radiant, in a vibrant array.
Essenceless, like reflections in a stream,
Non-arising, in this luminous dream.
Dependent origination, the dance of the seen,
Vivid yet essenceless, like a moonlit sheen.
No true arising, no solidified state,
Just a play of light, both simple and great.
In this realm, no seer stands alone,
Just the seen, in a spectrum shown.
Wondrously ordinary, yet profoundly free,
Where luminous meets the everyday, effortlessly.
Each vision, from sky to bird in flight,
Radiates in nonduality, both day and night.
Alive in each moment, yet inherently serene,
A display of emptiness, in a vibrant scene.
In seeing, just the seen, a revelation deep,
Where nothing truly exists, not even a leap.
No seer, no seeing, and crucially, nothing seen,
Like moon reflections, serene and keen.
A manifestation without essence, a dance so bright,
In the nature of mind, a radiant sight.
Not nihilism, but a truth so keen,
In the heart of appearance, nothing truly seen.
