No Age Ontology - Emptiness in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition
from No Age Ontology - Max Corradi · host Max Corradi
In one of the two main doctrines of the Buddhist Mahayana tradition, the Madhyamaka school, we often find the term ‘Emptiness’ or ‘Sunyata’ to refer to the state of the Absolute Truth of Reality, as opposed to a conventional truth of what appear to exist to the senses and the mind ‘s consciousness. Although ‘Emptiness’ is a state beyond concepts and the ultimate Truth of Reality, this by no means signifies that this state is a nihilist view of Reality which denies the appearance side of what sentient beings perceive. In fact, in one of the most important text of the Mahayana tradition we find the famous sentence which states that not only “form is no other than Emptiness, but also Emptiness is no other than form”.
