Hui-hai
This reading was very long, and rather confusing. I really liked that it was in question ans answer format though. I thought that made it much more understandable. When they say that "reality is perceived through your own body" I was a bit confused. I guess it is just saying that reality is grasped different from person to person and that peoples views of reality are different rightly so. What is real for one person my not be everyones version of life and truth. Even people of the same family, or the same group of any kind may different views on life. The Dharmapada Sutra says"to establish ourselves amid perfect emptiness in a single flash is the existence of wisdom." It seems almost like he is saying that amid the emptiness something amazing like wisdom can be created just by you being there and existing. Its pretty cool if you really think about it. If just your existence can make such a huge impact upon anything at all.
