Day 37 of 365: Emptiness of Emptiness
What about emptiness itself? We tend to use that word in such a way that we may begin to solidify even this with concept. In fact, I would say that is our first instinct given our addiction to concept. Khenpo reassures us in this chapter that indeed emptiness is empty, undercutting any conceptual expectations we may have. The argument really just goes back to looking at what emptiness itself is. How could emptiness itself not be empty? Additionally, the concept of empty as opposed to not empty is not accurate. Our experience of true reality is beyond any sort of conceptual game. In contemplation, do you notice yourself looking for emptiness? I am guessing that one never finds it in that way.
