According to Buddhist philosophy, “Emptiness” or “Non-Self” is one of the 3 characteristics that define our existence. The other 2 are “Impermanence “, and “Suffering”.
Emptiness is:
- the true nature of things and events (Dalai Lama)
- very much a part of our everyday existence (Lewis Richmond)
- a series of “no’s” and “not’s”
- no “self”
- not “me”, “myself”, nor “what I am”
- no separation between subject and object; everything is interdependent.
- no “I”, only “Us”.
- The earth, the animals, the sky, the earth and I, all dependent on, and part of each other, filled with endless compassion for each other.
