How to understand what you don’t understand

Post by Fairy »

Emptiness is the ground of everything. “Thanks to emptiness, everything is possible.” That is a declaration made by Nagarjuna, a Buddhist philosopher of the second century. Emptiness is quite an optimistic concept. If I am not empty, I cannot be here. And if you are not empty, you cannot be there. Because you are there, I can be here. This is the true meaning of emptiness. Form does not have a separate existence.


Do you understand that?

If not, why?

If yes, then that’s what understanding means, it means understanding absolutely without doubt or error.
