Growing Tree

Imagine that you are in a garden observing a young seedling growing into a tree. You may initially see the tree and the seedling as a solid, permanent object with a clear form and identity. However, upon closer observation, you would realize that the growth and development of the tree is not a static, permanent process. , The tree is constantly changing and growing, depending on various factors such as water, soil, and sunlight. It is made up of different parts such as the roots, trunk, branches, and leaves, which are all dependent on each other for the growth of the tree. Without any of these parts, the tree will have an imperfect growth that can change its overall structure., If you view the tree more closely, you will begin to discover that there is no inherent nature of the tree that remains unchanged, and it is not independent of other trees as well as the environment. It is merely a collection of parts that are interdependent and reliant on various conditions for its existence., Through this realization of emptiness, you can start to see things differently around you. Instead of seeing things as fixed, permanent objects, you realize that everything is interconnected, transient, and in a constant state of flux. This would enable you to let go of your attachment to the illusion of a permanent self or identity and develop a greater sense of wisdom, compassion, and freedom.
