MessageThese are taken from Huai-Chin Nan's book, 'Tao and Immortality'.
He says himself first, "Why does one have to overcome the uphill double barrier until mind and matter are one?" Then he gives some quotes including:
Kuei Chong said, "The original divine light cannot be brought into full play because of the barrier created by matter and the body."
Nan Chuang said, "The wonderful function of the original ubiqitous power does not depend upon matter. But the Tao must be manifested in matter since otherwise it could not be seen."
Manjusri said, "When all is emptied it is not to create an empty phenomenon."
I believe his original question and his choice of quotations go some way towards answering the charge of 'emptiness for emptiness' sake'. But the method is different again from anything practiced here, that's all.
