Most people walk through life convinced that the world around them is solid, stable, and exactly as it appears. A chair is a chair. A self is a self.

The reality is not only the world of being, it is equally the world of non-being, too, non-being, from where we and things of the surrounding world are coming and where we and things of the surrounding world are going...
