Emptiness: Exploring Reality • Friday Night Lecture
About the Evening Lecture
Emptiness is the word used by Buddha to refer to the ultimate nature of reality. It is not a nihilistic nothingness, but rather a profound object of knowledge that leads to an experience of freedom from limitation, and that allows us to let go of our painful ways of relating to ourselves and the world. It is a source of joy, creativity and healing that we can all tap into at any time. Through meditating on emptiness we can quickly become the person we wish to be, and we open ourselves to our potential for complete liberation and enlightenment.
