Thank you very much I will think about it.

Emptiness has nothing to doneith ezternal object or internal organs. It has to do with expereince as it is experience that gives you information.

I don’t understand your definition of emptiness based on your three levels of being. So I can’t comment on that. But I like those levels as they are presented. If I could try to represent them as I see things: 1/ bare perception of five types. 2/ perhaps the kasinas - earth, water, fire, air, red, ...

Hi I would like to try to define a conception of emptiness common to all currents of Buddhism, and without using too complex and erudite terms.

So when we ...

Why "Then is there no self?" A second time, the Blessed One was silent. Very interesting thank you. So the Buddha's teaching would be rather: 1/ aggregates are not eternal, so there can be no eternal Self in the aggregates; 2/ outside the mind, there is no eternal entity, so there can be ...

For the Mahayana, there is a dynamic nirvana in which a Buddha can experience nirvana while interacting with beings in samsara to help them liberate themselves. In this regard, I h...

Thank you
