Birds in the Heart - Open the Door of Emptiness

Initially, our minds and hearts were designed to continuously create space,
in order to provide ample room for ongoing activity.
But, if the mind is not sufficiently awakened and realized,
it is unable to create the space necessary to
accomodate all of our activities.
This means that the narrower your mind is,
or the smaller your heart is,
the tighter the activity space will be.
For instance, it seems that the richer people are,
the more constricted their hearts become.
It is because they are constrained
by the 'appearance' of money; so much so,
that they can find no way out its influence.
For this reason, Buddha opened the door of "Emptiness"
to give us a way out.
It is so that our lives can be broad, and spacious.
How do we open the door of "Emptiness?"
Simple by being detached and not clinging to illusory phenomena.
Thusly, you will open the door of "Emptiness,"
and live an easygoing, carefree, and lighthearted life.
