Quotations from “Hagakure” (“Hidden Leaves”)

 “Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness. Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase, "Form is emptiness."

That all things are provided for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase, “Emptiness is form." One should not think that these are two separate things.

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A person’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.”
