A. Seen from the perspective of the realm of form, all things are different from each other, and nothing is the same as anything else. However, when we see things as they really are, that is, from the perspective of the realm of emptiness, everything is the same and nothing is different from anything else.
The end of an ice pick symbolises the realm of form and the handle of it the realm of emptiness. This means that we are so addicted to seeing things merely from the perspective of the realm of form that we fail to see them from the perspective of the realm of emptiness. The purpose of Buddhism is to enable people to see things in both ways; the perspective of the realm of form and the perspective of emptiness.
