Shifting Constellation

Imagine that you are stargazing on a clear night, and you see a constellation of stars in the sky. At first glance, you might think of the constellation as a fixed and permanent object. However, if you were to observe the constellation for a longer period of time, you would start to notice changes in its position and shape. The constellation is constantly shifting and is dependent on various factors, such as the Earths rotation and the position of other stars in the sky.
If you were to break down the constellation into its individual components, you would find that there is no inherent self-nature or essence to it. The constellation is simply a collection of stars that are dependent on various conditions for their existence. None of the stars that make up the constellation are permanent, and they are constantly changing and shifting in relation to one another.

This realization of emptiness can help us to see the world around us in a different way. By recognizing that all things are inherently empty, we can let go of our attachment to fixed concepts and identities. We can begin to see the interconnectedness of all things and the impermanence of all phenomena, including ourselves. This can lead to greater wisdom, compassion, and freedom in our lives.
