“Oh, Sariputra, Form Does not Differ From the Void,
And the Void Does Not Differ From Form.
Form is Void and Void is Form;
The Same is True For Feelings,
Perceptions, Volitions and Consciousness.”
– Avalokite?vara (???????????)
And so I see ??nyat?, in the form of this langur. He stands guard outside the 5th century Ellora caves, as Wu Ch’eng-en’s Monkey King guarded Xuan Zang on his south-western journey to India to find Sakyamuni’s sutras – as Maudgalyayana in the form of the monkey may accompany friend ??riputra. The same is true for perceptions. The void is me.
