The Human Route
Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed — that is human.
When you are born, where do you come from?
When you die, where do you go?

Death is like a floating cloud which disappears.

Life and death, coming and going, are also like that.
But there is one thing which always remains clear.
It is pure and clear, not depending on life and death.
Then what is the one pure and clear thing?
