No, not just scarlet, there was also a sliver of pitch black, standing erect within the moon and expanding outward.
Where was this supposed Red Moon? It was clearly an eyeball!
An eyeball of sanguine red, an eyeball of bewitching evil, slowly met with the mind's eye.
It, he, it, it was watching oneself, staring intently!
"Avalokiteshvara, Kinara, when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita, perceives that all five skandhas are empty and is saved from all suffering and distress."
"Shariputra, form does not differ from the void, and the void does not differ from form. Form is void and void is form; the same is true for feelings, perceptions, volitions, and consciousness."
"All dharmas are marked with emptiness; they are neither produced nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing."
