- Let's dive deep into the heart of one of Buddhism's most profound and transformative teachings: emptiness, or śūnyatā. Join Matt, your guide on this journey, as he explores the five key aspects of emptiness that will shatter your assumptions about reality and open up a world of liberating wisdom.
From the Buddha's teachings on the lack of a fixed self to Nāgārjuna's insights into the interconnectedness of all things, we'll unpack the rich history of emptiness in Buddhist thought. We'll also explore the Yogācāra school's mind-bending teachings on the non-duality of subject and object, the luminous Buddha nature within us all, and the ultimate freedom that comes from letting go of fixed views.
But this isn't just an abstract philosophical discussion. We'll bring these teachings to life with vivid examples, thought experiments, and practical insights that you can apply to your own journey of awakening. Whether you're a seasoned meditator or just curious about Buddhism, this video will challenge your assumptions, expand your perspective, and leave you with a profound sense of the beauty and mystery of existence.

WOW! Just noticed exactly what is meant by "Emptiness." Nothing stands alone, everything is dependent upon other things. It's like links of a chain each one connected to each other. Awesome wisdom and insight!
Buddha learned about life when he saw a mongo tree. He saw life through meditation and taught the world. Most follow the worldly life that ended emptiness. Billionaires, wealth, and frame are emptiness. Buddha is the greatest teacher in the universe.
This is one of the best explanation of Sunyata! As a Buddhist, I am very proud and grateful for your explanation for all people. 🙏🏽🫶🏼🤟🏻🤲🏼
I like your comment, it got me to listen to the video instead of wander on. 🩵
Absolutely spot on. This is who we really are. Everything in the world of appearances is an ‘overlay’. This is the supreme value of meditation. When we discover Silence, we discover the Awareness of who we truly are. We are That.
false "I" ego causes mayhem in the world my way! my ideal, me ,me, me, mine,mine ,mine!
Ever-changing phenomenon (shunyata) is witnessed… by the unchanging consciousness/awareness (Buddha nature).
Fantastic! Beautiful, profound, and poignant!
"Good, good, O son of noble family; thus it is, O son of noble family, thus it is."
Form is emptiness; emptiness also is form. [Heart Sutra]
ॐ ~
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. great video, much appreciated!
This needs to be translated into an art form where a form is emptiness itself and vice versa
But we have to remember that while we are "empty" of a self, this does not mean that we are nothing. This mind in its essence has always been the perfect buddha-nature, like a perfect mirror reflecting all experience. And this essence of the mind's nature may be covered over by ignorance, but the mind's true nature can never be altered by ignorance, it can never be anything more and less than that of a realized buddha.
I did like that you said that Buddhists may love the concepts and then get stuck in thinking they are superior because of their lovely concepts. It is a real danger and The Buddha spoke about how Buddhism would disappear because of it.
Real Buddhist won't have such thought..... superior than others. While I think its the smartest to discover this, true nature of reality, of all phenomena.
For the Buddhist main goal is to enlightenment. Therefore, we can't posses any of these 5 poisons..... Attachment, Aversion, Ignorance, Pride and Jealousy....... and Bodhicitta is the most important quality.
I'm already applying this on my day to day life. This idea is a real game changer. Thanks a lot. Salamun alaikum.
Matt, I am impressed! Thanks for making these videos. I'm a Buddhist for quite some time and have studied Madhyamaka intensly. The video conveys the concept very well.
I'd like to add, that the term "emptiness" may sometimes be misleading. In Zen it is also called "fullness". Due to the fact, that the essence of phenomenon is free from inherent existence, everything can appear. Things can change, develop, transform. If it were not so, nothing new could appear. So it's due to emptiness, that the myriad phenomenon can arise as appearance. May all sentient beings realize their true nature and ultimate buddhahood swiftly!
Matt, would you be willing to make these videos availaible in other languages as well? I could translate these to German and Spanish.
Actually shunyata we call it as shunywad was devloped by nagaarjun a great monk who came later than buddha and one of the greatest Indian philosopher
Superb teaching ....it brings to ' mind '....choiceless awareness
Salute you for sharing such insightful wisdoms shared by Buddha
Thank you for sharing knowledge, only true knowledge can make us proper human being 💙🙏💙🙏💙
Fantastic. Great explanations (and analogies). Thanks for making this video.
Wisdom and Truth = Peace.
Subjects and objects are just actions that continue to exist between points of emptiness.
No.
Dark Matter seems empty to us, but hidden/parallel worlds exist in Dark Matter. 🙏🧡
Awesome.
Excellent video, I always imagine emptiness as the part in the heart sutra that says no eyes ears nose or tongue. In short summary it's saying we are so much more, but also we are nothing without all of those things but we are still everything because we are interdependent on nature, other people and society to exist.
Thanks for this video👍
There's no chapter 4?
Thank you! Incredible!
Very good video, but I would respectfully suggest that you slow down a bit next time. Some pauses after sentences allow the message to sink in, and give the words much more power.
Enlightening ... Much Love ❤
Thank you for this most Excellent wisdom! May it go Viral ❤
Very good work
Thank you thank you
This is core nondualism of Upanishads.
There is only consciousness as presence as ISNESS ,
Everything everyone rise within it and made of it, and are inherently Empty and Blank.
All illusions arise because of localisation and individuation of this consciousness, the Brahma.
Subject object and experience connecting them is just one way of consciousness exploring itself to know itself in finer details of low frequency material and more dense aspects of itself.
Outside our frequency wavelength ISNESS has other ways and methods of learning and self discovery.
Very illuminating attempt.
Shoonya is zero blank empty and devoid of any form name or defining aspersions.
Thank you. Appreciate this work.
This was the second of your videos that I have discovered on here. Thank you again.
rest in present awareness be still close eyes listen to your breathing.
Did I miss chapter 4 ?
Congratulations to u
fantastic images. Where can i find them?
May I know what software was used to generate this art style, really amazing visuals. Great Video.
JHANA. ❤
I want to learn more of this
I'll need to watch this a few times to understand the message. The animation was too beautiful to place my attention on the words.
❤❤❤
Namo Buddhaya, 🙏🙏🙏
Really good summary, I have already shared this with others.
Most of the teaching always put more emphasis on form is empty but rarely on when emptiness became form. One said it's better to think that the material one is real than what that is in our mind(concept, idea, doctrine, etc) it's the real one.
Good man, good work, very good
When something exist it's counter part also come to existence. For example, left - right, up - down, day - night, birth - death, cold - hot etc.. if you remove one, it's counter part also ceased to exist. Think about a world there is no left side, then you will never talk about its counter part (right side). Same thing can be applied to things in your mind, happiness - sadness, love - hate, past - future. If you are a person that looking for happiness, that means you are in sadness. In fact they are the same thing because one cannot exist without the other. If you can let go both of them your mind will be in a neutral state which is called Niravana. When you realized this dualism, you mind is in middle path(third state), and you stop arguing or fighting for one side.
Most important part is how you make your mind neutralized, in fact it's when you realized that sadness - happiness, love - hate are the same thing, because when something disappear and it counter part ceased to exist, it means they are the same thing. Think about a world where there is no sadness then it will be world where we never talk about happiness.
Nice graphics.
Nothing matters. Just live.
Everything matter....... War, femine, Plague, global warming, flood...... countless more etc.

To my knowledge shunyata is the nature which exist at the present moment in mind
Captivating thoughts and the visuals complement them nicely! Can I know about the artwork? I'm guessing AI? sublime!
Worthwhile dharma truth is offered, however the visuals and audio presentation style are clearly oriented to mass commercial media. Perhaps that is beneficial for many viewers/consumers come from. I need to
look away and just listen as the visuals are merely distractions which l don't relate to, artificial in my perspective. Thanks for the message regardless.
This existence, that we believe is real including these 'meat' bodies, is empty in the sense of being an illusion that we have reified into some kind of concrete reality. The Buddha is saying don't attach to what is empty being a mere illusion. When Siddhartha became a Buddha it was not through emptiness but it was by seeing ultimate reality which transcended this illusory world.
Human knowledge, through its ignorance of the really real, is confined to samvrti-satya, i.e., to the sphere of phenomenal reality. Such knowledge is unable to grasp nourmenal reality (paramartha-satya). Phenomenal reality is svabhava-shunya, i.e., devoid of self-existence. The noumenal reality is prapañca-shunya, i.e., devoid of plurality. The Buddha taught two truths. The first is phenomenal truth and the second is noumenal truth. Noumenal truth is peaceful, devoid of plurality, indeterminate, and one.
The hard problem of consciousness: how does subjective experience arise out of devoid of experience matter? Did Budha considered awareness fundamental to reality, therefore no hard problem?
Thank you. I'd love to see a refutation of self-help books from the perspective of the non-self or nonduality - the non-self help book
very good but he could point out the emptiness is not a good translation of the sunyata... well done.
Nice explanation ❤, but background music is distrubing
It is The Void. Constant void that exist before the series of big bang (where light created). It is Void and Dark.
Sorry problem with soundtracks,, ear pains, 🥴
What is the meaning of the term "inherent"? The idea of "essence" in old Greece is no longer valid or interesting.
Emptiness : Observe a tree. It is made of water,sun soil,air...nothing else..is there some self elements of tree...NO...So in reality there is no tree...its just a temporary formation of 4 elements.Now Observe yourself !!
wow... buddha knew about schrodinger's cat wayyyyy before schrodinger - and all he had to do was chill... LMFAO
❤❤❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
red flags at the introduction: "concept of emptiness", "meaning of emptiness", "emptiness as an experience", "Buddhist Philosophy".
the rest is actually not too bad, but still not even close to Diamond Sutra.
Shunyata is not something you can explain or even experience. you have to become one, then you know what it is, otherwise it is just... well, words.
Lamps onto ourselves? no. light onto ourselves. that is a big big difference. Even if you are operating in the realm of words (the only realm it seems), words matter. so choose them wisely next time.
In simple words life is a simulation you are the programmer 😅the purpose is to enjoy the simulation of life eternally, the ultimate video game experience 😅😅😅
the 25th 'buddha' of this 84 worlds had his own 'pride aera' to be respected about 'shunyata'.
contemporary Buddhists R set into pride algorithms by logics.

get beyond?
Well to be honest
Anybody who is helped by an explanation is a good thing, so that's a good thing.
But five levels of emptiness...?
That's just emptiness on top of emptiness times five, that's ridiculous.
The images and the graphics that you use behind your talk are beautiful and impressive but from my personal perspective you just used a lot of words to describe emptiness.
I think this could be refined.
To say that the observed and the Observer both do not exist this is ridiculous. Who observes the nothingness. To say that there is nothingness without observation is to say that you do not exist at all that the origin of creation does not exist the self the eternal self does not exist.
There is so much that is being missed in this explanation.
Emptiness reveals the truth of the eternal Observer who observes all things at all times and is completely full and overflowing of every second in an eternal timescape but exists in a transient state Beyond it because of its emptiness but that doesn't mean that it is void, it's not void it's full and it's ever present with possibilities and potentials and yet it is removed by remaining in the ever-present center.
To overcome the mind, to overcome the illusion, one needs to cultivate absolute stillness in body and mind and thought. Therefore it is a cultivation and a practice and a discipline that is required. Do not be misled that all is an illusion and therefore nothing needs to be undertaken. The action required when one finds oneself in the midst of illusion is to realize that the illusion comes from the spinning of the mind and the anecdote is to sit in stillness in the center. This is challenging therefore practice makes perfect.
The character is own of God 💯. The incarnation of the God 💯.
ALL the prophetic The divine time is over before five hundred years ago. Full lights moon one night Divine time running now by judgement of the God 💯. DIVINE time accept judge didn't of God 💯. So need Divine time judgment of God of all the humans.
You literally copied the video that Seeker to Seeker made on no self almost verbatim
stop with that ai it looks really baaad
Too bad all these philosophy is just monetize by greed .
So, how does Madhyamaka account for "energy", or a dynamic principle that propels change. Vedic philosophy uses the "gunas", or characteristic principles of reality, that includes a dynamic component - rajas (which, in it's pure form, is "prana", or life-force, synnymous with "shakti" or power). Buddhism does not share these Vedic notions.
non-duality = same generic soul ..but there is duality at the Mind level or body/hardware level..each of of us is different at the mind level though we all have the same separate generic soul
shoonya = cognitionlessness-state = zero internal & external information processing = NO outward&Inward Cognition = NO VisualThoughts & No Vocals(inward/vocalthoughts & outward) ..Now the next immediate question should be How to Get into this state..Ancient Gurus Knew this But Gurus today I haven't seen a single person or guru or teacher who understands this.. a lotta what today's teachers talk is wrong..
they don't want youth to enter that state after a full life its ok. to meld with Brahman.
@@deanyanko3326 by the way am not a guru or watever ..am a playboy and a freak..lol..ok
Explore Papaji or Maharshi Raman.
By the way you are spot on the concept of shoonyata.
@@vipulchaturvedi996 i know how to do it..i have never practised though..and i doubt if papji or raman knew how to do it..read BhagavadGita and Pajantali yoga sutras ..the human written meanings are mostly-wrong or partially correct so understand them by yourself and of humans alive today i have not seen anyone who knows how to meditate correctly
also Virtual0Reality world is exactly like a real-world except that it's programmed..let's say someone took you to rela-physical-world you won't find any difference it is exactly-same
🧞 very nice
But you destroyed
It when you add
Monsanto piano!
Do not be attached to the sounds you heard, whether you find them pleasing or unpleasant, for they are now gone…unless you choose to hold on to them.
main is to get the point and leave the rest as it is.
