Emptiness

Emptiness is central to Buddhism, but few understood the profound meaning behind this simple term.

Emptiness wrongly grasped is like picking up a poisonous snake by the wrong end. - Nagarjuna

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form;
Emptiness is not separate from form,
Form is not separate from emptiness;
Whatever is form is emptiness,
Whatever is emptiness is form.
The same holds true for sensation and perception,
Memory and consciousness.
- Red Pine
