ABSTRACT

We can see the bright stars in the night. The stars are shining against the dark sky, for their shining contrasts well with the black sky. Like this we can guess the nonbeing through the being, the infinite world through the finite. Robert Frost had an insight of abstracting the invisible and infinite world through the reality. In other words, the visible things are the signs to indicate the invisible world. From this view, we can denote the interminable changeability of everything is the physical evidence of its infiniteness. Buddha taught his disciples about the relationship between the being and the nonbeing. In the Diamond Sutra, he said that the visible is the sign of its emptiness, even his teaching is the expression of its nothingness. Because everything is always changing. Briefly speaking, to have a real freedom means to be free from the appearance of the visible world, for it is changing everlastingly.
