The Subtle Techniques for Achieving a State of Emptiness

Xuefeng

August 11, 2013

Without reaching a state of emptiness in body, mind, and spirit, it’s impossible to elevate one’s vibrational frequency. A low vibrational frequency prevents the unity of humans and the divine, the transformation into celestial beings, and the ascension to higher realms of LIFE. So, how can one achieve this state of emptiness?

  1. Let Go of All Attachments. Once emotional attachment arises, negative feelings like jealousy, resentment, anger, and frustration become inevitable. Possessing wealth, power, status, fame, or property leads to anxiety, worry, and fear. When attached to a strong sense of “self,” conflicts, arguments, debates, and energy struggles are unavoidable. Let go of all attachments, and the body, mind, and spirit can reach a state of emptiness.

  2. Be Content and Go with the Flow. Trust that the Greatest Creator will care for you, believe that the Tao arranges everything appropriately, and understand that the law of cause and effect operates without fail. Regardless of your current situation, remain calm and at peace. Avoid seeking escape or expecting better conditions, refrain from complaints and resistance. Face the present with composure and acceptance.

  3. Accept and Release Relationships as They Come and Go, Without Attachment. The people and events that enter your life are not coincidental but part of the program of causality. Never regret past actions or cling to past events. Whether rain or shine, let everything come and go naturally. Embrace opportunities as they arise and release them when they pass. Avoid attachment to pursuits or goals, allowing the body, mind, and spirit to remain in a state of emptiness.

  4. Maintain Harmony with the Whole. Align yourself with the collective state. When others are resting, rest as well; when others rise, rise too. If others are engaging in activities, do not watch passively; If everyone bares themselves, you should bare yourself as well; don’t put on airs of superiority. When others admire flowers, admire them too; avoid isolating yourself by admiring only your own uniqueness. When others quiet down, quiet yourself as well; do not stand out needlessly, like a crane among chickens.

  5. Calculate Less, Engage in Play More. Avoid letting your mind become a whirlwind of calculations, suspicions, or assumptions about others' motives. Do not dwell on what others may intend, as the truth may be far from what you imagine. When free, engage in play: write a simple poem, listen to music, dance, play an instrument, stroll through nature, or play games. This relaxation clears distractions and banishes negative thoughts, allowing body, mind, and spirit to find peace.

  6. Labor to Purify the Spirit. Engage in meaningful work every day. Give and contribute consistently, avoiding idle pleasures. Strive not to be seen as lazy or unhelpful by those around you, and work to owe nothing to anyone. Living this way brings a sense of fulfillment and a clear conscience, lighting the body, mind, and spirit and helping you move naturally toward emptiness.

  7. Let Go of Desires and Expectations; Avoid Delusions and Fantasies. Without desires, one gains strength; without expectations, one finds peace. Desires and ambitions distort one’s true nature, suppress one’s spiritual essence, foster a sense of inferiority, and lead to inauthenticity, making one overly cautious and worried. Let everything flow with the Tao, allowing events to happen naturally. Wait for fruits to ripen without attempting to pick them prematurely. Avoid taking what isn’t rightfully yours, breaking the law, exploiting others' domains, gambling, or risking excessively. Don’t expect immediate success or overnight fulfillment; whether the divine or ghosts come, the body, mind, and spirit will naturally stay at ease.

  8. Avoid Competing for Energy. Conflicts and struggles all stem from competing for energy. Discontent among people arises from the drive to extract energy from each other. Step back from these contests, and you’ll find a world of serene mountains, moonlit skies, and tranquil waters. Avoid competing for physical or spiritual energy; disputes muddy the mind and spirit. Instead, let yourself “commune alone with the spirit of heaven and earth,” drawing upon the essence of the sun, moon, and nature. In this way, the body, mind, and spirit enter a state of emptiness.

The state of emptiness is profoundly beautiful—a state of effortless action, where nothing is left undone. In advancing, one might “reach for the moon in the sky”; in retreating, one vanishes without a trace. Like Liezi’s teacher, Huzi, who could transform endlessly, one can respond instantly, becoming a Buddha with Buddhas, a celestial with celestials. You can be anything or nothing, taking any shape or state—round or square, long or short, hard or soft, hidden or revealed—occupying a state of complete resonance with all frequencies.

May everyone experience the beauty of emptiness soon.
