Sunyata Episode 2: Buddhism: What is Emptiness | Pali Canon (The Teachings of Buddha)
The Meaning of Emptiness - What Did the Buddha Preach About Emptiness In?
- "Emptiness" is a unique and specific concept within Buddhist teachings. No other civilization, system of thought, philosophy, religion, or science has articulated this concept apart from Buddhism. It transcends all religions, including "Buddhism" in its more ritualistic, popular forms.

The Buddha perceived that no phenomenon in the universe or in the consciousness of any individual can exist independently, autonomously, and permanently. Every phenomenon that arises does so only through a combination of many causes and conditions, and the absence of even a minor and secondary cause or condition means that the phenomenon cannot occur. This demonstrates that all phenomena are composite and do not contain an independent, individual entity. The absence of an independent, permanent entity in all phenomena is referred to as their "emptiness" or Sunyata in Sanskrit and Sunnata in Pali.
This discovery by the Buddha is profoundly unique and transcendent, relating to the entire human understanding process-spiritually. Today, the concept of emptiness, along with other Buddhist concepts, continues to astonish thinkers, philosophers, scholars, and scientists across all fields worldwide.
For Buddhism, the application of this concept has played a crucial role in the practice aimed at ultimately helping humans escape from suffering.
What Did the Buddha Preach About Emptiness In?
Returning to the Buddha's teachings through the original sutras in the Tripitaka shows that they are concise, specific, and very practical, not laden with the argumentative nature of metaphysical philosophy. Therefore, to avoid misunderstandings about the definition of Buddhism and to better understand how the term "emptiness" (sunyata) was explained and perceived by the Buddha, we present here the meaning of "emptiness" according to original Buddhism, based on two Pali sutras: Culasuññatasutta (The Lesser Discourse on Emptiness, MN 121) and Mahāsuññatasutta (The Greater Discourse on Emptiness, MN 122) - considered two of the most important discourses the Buddha preached on emptiness.
My take on this philosophy of emptiness is simply to be yourself, rely on yourself, but first know what it is that you are relying on; and when you find that out, as the Buddha said in his final message to the Brotherhood, "Be a light unto yourself". Same thing my Daddy told me before he ascended, "Son, be your own man".
peace and love,
yishmirai

Being able to release your emotions out of yourself is what the recording is trying to teach everyone else, I personally love the feeling of understanding nothing and master of nothing ness
2:46 The "MN" after the sutta name does not refer to Minnesota but to Majjhima Nikaya, as much as the Minnesotans might have liked that the Buddha had preached somewhere around Minneapolis...
Also - most of the shunyata doctrine is held to be developed by the later Madhyamikas...and Mahayanists. Those two suttas in MN refer to emptiness more literally...🙏🏼🙏🏼
NOT, Shunyata was quite prominent in the Tipitika!
Anatta Lakhana Sutta, Phena Sutta are just a few others.
Mahayanists however were the greatest practitioners of Shunyata and understood this as a core teaching.
Anatta lakkhana sutta is not about emptiness, it is mainly about soullessness. And soullessness is not emptiness. Emptiness is found teaching of Mahayana Buddhism but not in therawada buddhism. Therawada is the oldest Buddhism than Mahayana Buddhism.
Emptiness is potential of manifestation.
Empty of cup is potential of holding water.
Within Emptiness everything manifest.
Everything is dependent nature.
Depend leads to change, change leads to temporary. Temporary leads to impermanence, impermanence and Emptiness is one nature.
"Emptiness and Existence are one not two. All dharmas are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble or a shadow, like morning dew or like a lightning flash that appear, spring up in the very spot where they also come to an end.
If you ask Buddha what's emptiness, Buddha will speak about the reality of lives.
If you ask the Buddha about the reality of life, the Buddha will speak about emptiness.
What is delusion and what is illusion?
The Buddha told us, phenomena is an illusion. Everything that appear before us is an illusion. Nothing is real.
Life is indeed a dream.
When your thoughts cease or when you die, all existence disappeared.
Deluded person has no wisdom to understand the truth.
🙏🙏🙏Amituofo
If this is true, "When your thoughts cease or when you die, all existence disappears. " Lord Buddha would not spend 45 years preaching what he learned. What do you think?
Amazing Chanel thanks from Canada
Devoid of emotions,No Lust for wealth and No love for Life is Nirvana.
Yesaṁ sannicayo natthi, ye pariññātabhojanā,
suññato animitto ca vimokkho yesa’ gocaro,
ākāse va sakuntānaṁ, gati tesaṁ durannayā.
For those who have no stores,
who know their food aright,
for those whose resort is
the liberation that
is empty or signless,
like the birds in the sky,
their track is hard to find.
(Dhammapada verse 92)
Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā, āhāre ca anissito,
suññato animitto ca vimokkho yassa gocaro,
ākāse va sakuntānaṁ, padaṁ tassa durannayaṁ.
For him whose pollutants
are destroyed, who is not
dependent on the foods,
for him whose resort is
the liberation that
is empty or signless,
like the birds in the sky,
his footprint’s hard to find.
(Dhammapada Verse 93)
U should not attempt to expound Emptiness. From what u spoke, it is clear that u are not qualified to explain Emptiness bcos people who understand Emptiness do not explain it the way u did. Still, it is a reasonable effort.
Do you feel empty, Tony?
I have experienced the emptyness, Emptyness cannot be explained through the words, it a state that we have to attain through. Also someone cannot understand the emptyness through out the thought. If one who goes to understand it with the words, he will go as far as from the emptyness❤❤❤❤❤
All these theories about emptiness ….? Only theories …..won’t bring one closer to the truth or daily living.
emptiness is the nature of any experience you have..your denial is result of not seeing it..means you are ignorant and deluded...where in this world you can claim in ur expereince as not being empty of real essence...its all changing yet you still think its not empty..even ur thoughts alone is empty..
Take off your comerciales
Emptiness Is by far the most over explained Buddhist concept.
This is ridiculously overly complicated for no reason. So pretentious.
Not really. It's just the same principle of negation applied to different phenomena.
A full waste bin is useless
