happiness is unhappiness, satisfaction is dissatisfaction 空即是色, 色既是空?? I just guess. Old Chinese language is very difficult, I didn't ever know it. When I was at school, I just gave it up.

Thank you for this post. It reminds me of something I read in Korean from ancient Chinese: 행복은 불행이다 (happiness is unhappiness) 만족 불만족이다 (satisfaction is dissatisfaction) What is this in Chinese?
