Beyond personal identity

Although waves appear
on the surface of the ocean,
their essence is water,
which is the essence of the ocean.
The ocean is not defined by the waves.

Similarly, events that appear to you
within the body,
within the world,
within the mind,
they are fleeting.

There is no need to hold on
to them and make a personal story.
There is no need
to weave a personal narrative
that we hold on to.

Be empty handed.
Try it out.
