Everything in the world is a part of emptiness. It is born in emptiness, and is extinguished in emptiness. Everything in the world, including ourselves, is to the emptiness just as the ocean spray is to the ocean.(page 96-97)
They continuously sing of the truth of impermanence:
Mountains and rivers and the great earth,
Are fundamentally the coming together of causal conditions.
Though they appear in all sorts of shapes and colors,
If we look for their inherent nature, they have none.
We offer this advice to the people of the world:
See through to the true face.
Don’t be bound by clinging and possessions.
Give up anger and wrath
Alas, how sad!
We'd better make an effort.
We offer this advice to the people of the world.
Why must you be so ignorant and deluded?
The myriad objects are empty in an instant,
The myriad objects cannot be taken away
Why don't you come along with us
Laughing and happy?(page 100-101)

世上的一切，都是虚空的一部分，生于虚空，灭于虚空，世界上的所有事物—包括我们自己—与虚空之间，都是浪花与大海的关系。(77页）
山川并大地，本是因缘聚，
虽显诸形色，觅其自性无,
奉劝世上人，窥破真面目。
无执亦无舍，无嗔亦无怒。
呜呼再鸣呼，我等好卖力。
奉劝世上人，何必太痴迷,
万境转瞬空，万缘带不去。
何不随我来，哈哈复嘻嘻？（80页）
