Void (sunyata)

Void, or sunyata, is a concept in Buddhism that refers to the idea that things do not exist independently or inherently on their own. Instead, everything arises interconnectedly and is empty of a fixed, unchanging essence. This understanding helps us see that all phenomena are transient and interdependent, reducing attachment and suffering. Recognizing voidness doesn't mean things are nothing; rather, it highlights their fluid and interconnected nature, encouraging a perspective that fosters wisdom, compassion, and a clearer comprehension of reality’s true nature.
