Chương 933: State of Emptiness

After reviewing the information in the Emptiness Sutra, Leon seated himself in the standard position for meditation and started reciting the sutra's words in his mind.

'Emptiness is tranquility, and tranquility is peace; outer peace is freedom, but inner peace is enlightenment. Let go of all desires, let go of all worries, think nothing, be free, be empty, and be nothing.'

'Everything is not nothing, but nothing is everything… Life is meaningless, and possessions are worthless… Attention is fixation, thoughts are burdens, and reasons are chains… Be free, be nothing…'

Leon recited the sutra, but the deeper he went, the more creases formed on his forehead.

At first, the sutra seemed normal, showing the way to achieve the state of emptiness. However, the latter parts turned rather depressive and suicidal. It was like the sutra was saying he had nothing worth living for and should just die.
