Emptiness, a poem

[todaysdate]

By Christi Ortiz

Everything an illusion.
All things subsumed
in the Void.
Emptiness,
the only thing
that stays the same.

The ego, a delusion.
Attachments, the chains.
Freedom, found in sight,
in letting go
into the Void.

Why the Buddhist Precept ‘Abstaining from Taking Life’ Resonates with Me

The Buddha taught we should show compassion to all sentient beings, not just humans. Initially it reminded me of the biblical commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” which tended to focus solely on not killing human beings. Buddhism too, says not to murder, but breaks it down further, explaining that protecting human life is only possible by also protecting anything that lives.
