同光 林钰堂

空性无形质,观空难着落;
觉受悉同光,明显无从执。

空性遍一切,而无特定形质。此理纵明,修观一切回归空性则难了达。

一切觉受整体同在,历历分明。视彼等皆如光,虽明显而无以执取。如此修观空,有下手路。

Same as Lights Yutang Lin

Blank Essence has neither particular shape nor quality.
Visualizing on such essence is hard to put into practice.
All things experienced to be regarded as same as lights.
Vivid as they are, and yet there is nothing we can grasp.

Comment:

Blank Essence permeates everything and everywhere, and yet it has neither particular shape nor specific quality. Even when this philosophical point is comprehended, it is still difficult to realize the visualization of all things returning to Blank Essence in practice.

All sensations and things experienced are vividly and concurrently present as a totality. Regard all these as basically the same as lights, i.e., even thought they are vividly experienced and yet they have no substance to be grasped. This is a practical way to practice the visualization on Blank Essence.
