Sam-il-sin-go 1 The Void and Emptiness

1. 虛空 (36字)

帝曰 爾五加와 衆아
蒼蒼이 非天이며
玄玄이 非天이라
天은 無形質하며 無端倪하며
無上下四方하고 虛虛空空하야
無不在하며 無不容이니라.

Chapter 1 The Void and Emptiness

The Heavenly Emperor proclaimed: “Five Ministers and people of the realm! The infinite blue above is not heaven; the infinitely distant is not heaven. Heaven has no form or properties; no beginning or end; no above or below; and no east, west, south, or north. It is emptiness externally and void internally. As such, there is nowhere that it does not exist and nothing that it does not embrace.”
