Originally, there is nothing. If you make something, then you have something. If you don't make anything, then already you are complete.

This is a pointer I got from Zen Master Seung Sahn (Dae Soen Sa Nim). It's expressed here -- http://www.kwanumzen.org/misc/temple-rules.html -- in a nice little poem/haiku:

Shouting into a
valley: big shout, big echo.
Small shout, small echo.
