The Cat Is the Gate

The Sound of Silence

A cat sits still. Breath stops. Sound disappears, Gate opens silently to emptiness.

Through Nothingness

In nothing, everything exists— Mind holds a stone, clear as day, The soundless gate stands open.
“Mu” is the key. The unanswerable question unlocks every door.
Can you hear it? Or see it? Or grasp its essence? Only in silence does true insight appear.
