Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.

It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community -a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth.
