I completed a 7 day intensive #Zen retreat today ("sesshin").
I'm not finished in my contemplative practice, but a couple wonderfully profound glimpses on this retreat remind me:
The #Buddhist terms "no self" and "emptiness" and "no mind" — those aren't beliefs. They're words which are expressive of an experience, one that's matter-of-factly before words.
.
_____
"no self" is from the Pali *anatta*
"emptiness" is from Sanskrit *śunyatā*
and "no mind" translates the Japanese *mushin* (無心)

An assortment of prismatic works made by my local #artist friends Kib, Apisit, Baow, & Muai; msg me if you see one you like that you'd like to inquire about
Dainichi Nyorai Statue, Enjo-ji, #Japan. The earliest work of the #Buddhist sculptor Unkei. Unkei's style is characterized by strong, masculine facial expressions, but because the main image was created when he was 20 years old, his facial expressions are not fully original. This work gives us a glimpse of the conflict between following the traditional style of the #Heian period or pursuing an original path.

BBC offers video taken near Gounsa Temple, a large and historic Buddhist temple built in 618 AD, which they report as having "burned down" among raging wildfires in South Korea.
For some of us, our minds race, imagining ourselves there, what would we do? Measure the distance probably, decide if we're safe. We hope no action is required. If we're far enough away, we hope to decide we can go about our lives. This is not about us.
That a static measuring tool reassures us about a kinetic event is a hint about the kind of denial we're in. Too many people unconcerned about walls that are closing in, preferring to see it is a problem only for those closer to the walls. It fuels in our society a love of politicians willing to tell us that this will not affect us. No wonder alternative facts are so appealing.
If we can just be left alone to get through our own lives, surely it can be seen to be someone else's problem.

Beautiful! This could be a metaphor for the #Buddhist concept of beginner's mind.

#Gemini is not only perfect for learning a new #language, but
also for studying deep philosophical subjects like #Buddhism. It knows the #Sanskrit roots that make up a Sanskrit word and its etymological meaning. It also understands classical Chinese. One can use it as a tool for understanding the classical #Chinese translations of #Buddhist #sutras. Then check the meanings of the Sanskrit words and compare them to the English #translations available on the internet which are often imprecise.
