Master Jun Hong Lu’s
Buddhism In Plain Terms
Volume 11 Chapter 25
(An Excerpt)
*THE THREE DHARMA SEALS - UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF EMPTINESS*
Master Jun Hong Lu: "All dharma is devoid of self" means you do not own any of your undertakings in the human realm. You have no idea where you would go ultimately. If not for the name that was given to you at birth, you wouldn’t even know whom you are. Or, whom you would be after you die.
Just take a look at those names on the tombstones. Let me ask you, do you remember the name of your grandparents? Do you understand now?
You have to understand that the self is not an independent entity. Hence, the term "no self".
You have borrowed a name and a physical body to come to live in this world. And, in the end, you will have to return your “loaned” body and name to the universe.
You shall leave this world taking nothing with you, except your soul. This is what it means by “all dharma is devoid of self”.
