"Self'/no-self', 'mind'/'no-mind' - such beliefs (or "opinions" if you
prefer to think personal attachments differ from personal expressions of
them) are hindrances, but being 'empty' can only appear to hinder.
So long as such stories are appealing, you will pursue them. Doing so,
one imagines the 'path' to appear long and narrow, and following it will
appear to require great effort.
Path defines self, self defines path. One in the same. All hindrances
arise from thinking otherwise.
