The Sayings - Ready for Death

The Sayings of Chen Jen

Number Twenty-One
Ready for death
you are ready to live.

Life is full when
empty.

A river finds its way.

Free of fear and grasping
is free to live indeed.

  1. This reminds me of an interesting episode of House,M.D. when Wilson informs a guy that he doesn't really have the cancer he diagnosed earlier. The patient is PISSED...he'd just sold his house, made travel plans, was excited about living. He sort of died when he realized he wasn't about to die.
