“Dark itself is not dark. It is due to light that dark Becomes dark. And light itself is not light It is due to dark that light Becomes light. Because light changes into dark, And dark gives way to light, Their appearance and disappearance Depend upon each other… All of experience is like this” Zen Master Hui Neng. The Platform Sutra.
