Shunyata

(skt.: shunyata; tib.: tong pa nyi) Emptiness (sometimes also translated as voidness) is a Buddhist idea which states that all phenomena are empty of any kind of self existence or inherent existence. Emptiness is the reality of the existence of ourselves and all the phenomena around us.

"This life is like a game that we play, the objects of perceptions, playthings in a dream. Those who take them as real become lost in confusion."
