When we realize experiengtially the truth that everything is impermanent ,one word from an enlightened teacher is enough to wake us from the sleep of ignorance. Such an awakening helps me neithert to hold on to the past nor to reside in the future which has yet to come. The only moment that exists is the present moment.Such awakening helps me to be free from my emotional backpack.
Watching my dad passing away camly in front of my eyes made me realize the impermanent nature of all the natural elements such as air, heat, breath, water, matter. I realize the truth of impermanence. According to my understanding emptiness and fullness are two sides of the same coin. There is no fullness without emptiness and no emptiness without fullness.
When I meditate i experience my mind empty of thoughts, free from my attachments to the world created by me, the seperate self. In that emptiness I feel the fullness of living in the moment. When I live meditatively I feel the other me. These are precious moments of compassionate connection. the experience of oneness, fullness.
