Not Seen

Mañjuśrī declared, “Householder, it is as you say. Who comes, ultimately comes not. Who goes, ultimately goes not. Why? Coming is not really known in coming, and going is not really known in going. What is seen is not to be seen again, ultimately.”

There is no fixed self. Coming and going are fabrications… stories… perspectives. Each moment arises and then disappears like a shooting star.
