It has been said
That Nirvana is nothingness.
Not by the wise,
It was said by the ignorant.
For there is a void
Which is mere nothingness;
And another
Which is Reality.
And It is empty,
Because it is beyond the world;
Yet It is fullness
For him who contains It —
For the Awakened,
Who wanders no more;
O holy Silence —
O Jewel in the Lotus, hail!
