"emptiness"

posted by zenner



if you google on "nisaragadatta" on emptiness,he pretty well describes it..\
he is considered as the second buddha..\

here is my 2 cents worth..\
the question is or should be \'empty of what "?

because everything is interconnected,hence no-thing has a \"self identity"i.e. everything is empty of a "self".yet full of everything else.

there is a nice little booklet by zen master thich nhat than..."the heart of understaning"

hence in buddhism,there is no such thing as creation.instead buddhists use the word production"

henry begson once said "it is not that things change,but we,rather,percieve change as a thing.
