“People don't dare let go of the mind, they grasp onto the mind. They can let go of the objects of the mind, but they don't dare to let go of the mind. Why? We're afraid of falling into a place where we think there will be nothing to feel, to touch, to pick up, afraid we'll have nothing left. But emptiness doesn't mean nothingness.”
