After meeting the nun Dagnyima, #Nagarjuna requested the meaning of realization from her; she then bestowed it in full and condensed the meaning for him in song:

"While reflecting, you may understand #emptiness,
- but it is still #confusion.
While clinging, you may cling to the view,
- but it is still a #fetter.
While thinking, you may understand #dharmakaya,
- but it is still a thought.
While meditating, you may cultivate #nonthought,
- but it is still #conceptual."

Thus she sang.

All problems are resolved and everything is clear. The rock, all matter, all life, is charged with dharmakaya… everything is emptiness and everything is compassion.
~Thomas Merton (via Sujato Bhikkhu)
