Rising Bread Dough

Imagine you are watching a dough rising in the oven. You might observe that the dough appears to be a solid, tangible mass that is constantly growing and expanding. However, if you were to examine the dough more closely, you would realize that it is not a fixed, permanent object. In fact, the dough is constantly changing and evolving as it rises and expands, and it is dependent on various conditions for its existence. The dough is made up of various ingredients, such as yeast, flour, water, and salt, which are themselves made up of smaller particles., If you were to break down the dough into its individual components, you would find that there is no inherent self-nature or essence to the dough. It is simply a collection of parts that are dependent on various conditions for their existence. This realization can help us to recognize the emptiness of all phenomena, including ourselves. By recognizing that all phenomena lack inherent existence and are dependent on various conditions, we can let go of our attachment to fixed ideas and identities. This can lead to greater happiness, compassion, and wisdom in our lives. Moreover, we can also see how everything in the universe appear in a constant flux of becoming and cessation, which further helps to deepen our understanding of emptiness.
