Everything is Void

One needs not be a Buddhist to practise Buddhism as a non-Buddhist can still regard Buddhism as a philosophy or a way of life.

I don't remember I ever had suffered insomnia in my life. But lately I had it for two consecutive nights as I was disturbed by a problem which for the time being I had no solution.

 
Luckily I was able to reflect on "everything changes all the time and nothing is permanent" during my meditation sessions while I was having my sleepless nights.

Thanks to my understanding of the teachings and the meditation technique that I have learned from Buddhism, I could overcome my insomnia within a short period of time.

If nothing could exist inherently, it is immaterial whether one would emerge as either the winner or the loser over a cause he is fighting for. After all, in the end everything is void as it is stated in the Heart Sutra which says that emptiness is void and void is emptiness.
