Self-Appearing Illusion

All these forms, appearance emptiness 
Like a rainbow with its shining glow 
In the reaches of appearance emptiness 
Just let go and go where no mind goes

 

Every sound is sound and emptiness
Like the sound of an echo's roll
In the reaches of sound and emptiness
Just let go and go where no mind goes


Every feeling is bliss and emptiness
Way beyond what words can show
In the reaches of bliss and emptiness
Just let go and go where no mind goes


All awareness, awareness emptiness
Way beyond what thought can know
In the reaches of awareness emptiness
Let awareness go, oh, where no mind goes
