Docho Roshi, love is love, and hate is hate, and love is empty, and hate is empty.
SR: There you will have great sorrow or longing—loneliness of emptiness. Until you get accustomed to this experience, you cannot get out of the trouble, or fear, or whatever it is. When you can remain still with some composure in the pitch dark, you will have deep true composure.
