I would like to get an explanation, a comment on each line of the verse.The spiritual light shines alone,
Freeing the senses from the dust of the world.
Experiencing True Eternity
Does not depend on any scriptures.
The nature of consciousness is uncontaminated,
Essentially perfect.
But getting rid of the misleading reasons
This is the same as the Buddha.
A cloud of Emptiness.
Biography and instructions of the great Chan teacher Xu-yun
I think that in this verse, no metaphysics is implied, no, but rather speaks of emptiness as the true eternity. Asamskrit as eternal, undying, unborn. True eternity, as the principle of non-connectedness, non-conditionality, as the opposite of the world of determination, impermanence, interdependent occurrence. True eternity, as opposed to all this. What do you think?
