Searching for something behind or beyond this empty appearance is a futile journey without end. Each layer peeled back only reveals another appearance—never a hidden core. Although there may seem to be something deeper, it is still nothing more than an appearance. There is no final reality waiting to be discovered—only this endless play of appearances. When the seeker and searching fall away, what remains is simply this—the very emptiness, fullness, and wholeness of what appears, with nothing behind or beyond.
