不空 Non-Void
不死亦不生，空余梦里人。
前脚差一步，光阴又半程。
Neither dead nor truly alive, a dreamer left behind,
One step missed, cost half a lifetime.
很少有人知道大师兄不空是何时剃度出家的，只知道他是最早随着师父修行的，资历最深，庙中许多事务都由他来打理。
他极少从佛殿里出来，似乎总有念不完的经。他还极擅写诗作画，画过诸天神佛，叹过市井百态。可他却从不留恋，笔下的东西，写完画完就是草草扔在地上。有人问他为何，他便说:“我见不缘实我，不空是空。都是假的，何必吝惜?”
大师兄虽不出殿门，但爱好寻人辩经论禅。
一日，不能过来问他:“师兄，杀生有罪吗?”
不空答:“杀生有罪。可若为了大道，不得不杀，便无罪。”
不能反问:“那何为大道？”
不空答:“自是明空觉性，福德圆足，登极乐，入净土。”
不能反问:“杀生不但不能了结因果，反造了更多孽缘业障，这又如何登极乐?”
不空答:“我不入地狱，谁入地狱。若不杀，便是为旁人遗留祸害，岂中非更是缺了福德。”
不能笑道:“师兄你都说要入地狱了，可见无论如何杀生都不对。说来好人自有福报，又何须你再多此一举?”
不空急道:“入地狱只是比喻，本义是替他人受苦受难……”
不能打断道:“放屁!杀便杀了，还搞这许多弯弯绕绕。师兄，巧立名中目，我欲即法，杀生背后的这份装腔作势，才是真正的罪过啊。”
不空闻言，一时说不出话，似乎想到了什么往事。
至此之后，两人再也没论过禅。
Few disciples know when Non-Void took his vows and became a monk. They only know that he was among the earliest to follow their master, making him the most senior, and entrusted to many of the temple's affairs.
He rarely left the hall, seemingly always engrossed in endless sutra recitations. He was also highly skilled in poetry and painting, having depicted various Buddhas in the west and the myriad aspects of worldly life. Yet, he never cherished his creations, often discarding them carelessly after finishing. When asked why, he would say, "I see no true self; Non-void is but void. It's all an illusion, so why hold on to it?"
Though Non-Void seldom left the hall, he enjoyed engaging others in debates about Buddhist doctrines.
One day, Non-Able approached him and asked, "Brother, is killing a sin?"
Non-Void replied, "Killing is a sin. But if it is for the sake of the greater good, then it is not a sin."
Non-Able countered, "And what is the greater good?"
Non-Void answered, "It is the realization of void, the fulfillment of virtue, ascending to the land of bliss."
Non-Able questioned further, "Killing not only fails to resolve karma but also creates more entanglements and obstacles. How can one ascend to bliss then?"
Non-Void responded, "If I do not enter hell, who will? If not killing leaves harm for others, isn't that a greater lack of virtue?"
Non-Able laughed, "Brother, you yourself said you would enter hell, which shows that killing is wrong no matter what. Good ones naturally receive blessings; there's no need for you to make things complicated."
Non-Void hastily explained, "Entering hell is just a metaphor. The essence is to suffer for others..."
Non-Able interrupted, "Nonsense! Killing is killing, no need for all these convoluted justifications. Brother, the pretence behind justifying killing is the real sin."
Hearing this, Non-Void was momentarily speechless, as if reminded of something from the past.
From that day on, the two never debated again.
