There is a Zen saying, “Empty-handed I come, empty-handed I go.” At first glance, it is not difficult to understand. We come empty-handed, and though we might accumulate many things during our lifetime; in the end, we can’t take them with us; we will leave this life empty-handed. It’s a good reminder that we cannot take anything with us when we get too caught up in things.
Thank you for defining prayer in this way.
🙏💙 All gratitude.
