The Mystery of Emptiness

When you look into the
mirror and see a reflection
of your face,
You think that’s *real*?

Before your birth
What face you really had?

After your death,
What face will you have?

If you could only find the answer,
(and i also haven’t figured it out yet)
In that remains the mystery of emptiness,
the grand teaching of Emptiness by Gautama.
