When you say “just
emptiness,” that is idea of emptiness, not actual emptiness. When
we attain emptiness by all parts of our body, that is real emptiness, you know,
actual emptiness. When everything exists in its own way and expresses the absolute, we call it a true emptiness. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-08-25 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
