Since everything is empty, why are so many things generated and various phenomena occurring? Are these all we see in our dreams? Are we living in a virtual computer scene?

I have read a lot of books, one of the most basic principles is that everything is empty, everything is ultimately empty, and emptiness is the essence of the universe.

Since everything is empty, why are so many things generated and various phenomena occurring? Are these all we see in our dreams? Are we living in a virtual computer scene? Why do we live, and why do we live, are food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death in the world also illusions?

We are asking these questions repeatedly, but we are still repeating the same things every day. Are we deceiving ourselves and intoxicating ourselves? If so, then when can we be awake, how can we be awake, and what state can we be awake. When I ask myself, sometimes I feel like I understand it very well, but often I am confused and confused, not knowing what emptiness is.

The degree of self-sensation of emptiness must be checked during meditation. Whether the mind can really calm down. The degree of mind calmness is an important criterion for testing emptiness. If it is truly quiet and empty, the thoughts will not jump back and forth, fluctuate repeatedly, and can remain motionless, and the body can expand infinitely, and cannot feel your own existence.

Therefore, to realize emptiness, it is difficult to witness emptiness based on theoretical understanding alone. For the general public, emptiness needs to be verified and emptiness is witnessed through practice.

To see emptiness, you need to first express your renunciation, because if you still have a stubborn mind towards all kinds of things in the world, you cannot see emptiness. If you have the intention to leave this desire realm, you will not have the thought of greed and attachment to all kinds of desires. Only by having the intention to leave can you jump out, not wander around in the world of desire, be too persistent about anything, slow down your breathing, calm your mind, and persevere little by little.

To realize emptiness, we need to break the illusion, look at things from a long-term and macro perspective, and fully understand the whole picture of things, and discover the essence of things.

Looking at life, we are all moving forward on the road to death. We are born, grow up, study, work, get married and have children, career, disease, aging, and death. We are all walking along the same path. The difference is that everyone understands different things and degrees. Things are always changing. What changes are the responses that come from the environment, and what remains unchanged is what we feel about emptiness.

Realize emptiness, and see everything and everything together. It is just a variety of presentations of emptiness. After all, our life is empty, and money, reputation, status, our appearance and body will be empty.

Enlightenment of emptiness must be truly verified and practiced, and experience it bit by bit in life. What we do is to realize the unchanging emptiness behind it through all these phenomena. After realizing emptiness, you will stay in and emptiness, and will not move with the birth and death of phenomena, but will only be activated by the emptiness of the original awareness.
