嬻 [py] kong1 [wg] k'ung [ko] kong [ja] 僋僂 kuu ||| (1) Sky, space. (2) 'emptiness', 'non-existence', 'voidness.' (`suunyataa, `suunya); The opposite of 桳--the negation of existence. As the rejection by the Buddha of this 'emptiness' being simply the mistaken view of 'nothingness' 嫊柍, this basic Buddhist teaching of emptiness is the negation of the two mistaken views of the acceptance of the real existence of a self 変, and the understanding of an eternal nature of the compositional elements (朄) that make up the world or the self. Therefore, it is an 'emptiness of self and dharmas.' Among Hinayanists the Satyasiddhi sect 惉泬廆 and in Mahaayaana teachings the Maadhyamika 拞鎂攈 and others strongly emphasized this teaching. Among the sutras, the Praj~naapaaramitaa sutras all especially emphasize this teaching. Among the various understandings of emptiness are 'analytical emptiness' and 'essential emptiness', as well as 'only emptiness' and 'not-only-emptiness' and so forth. As the teaching of emptiness is originally for the destruction of the attachment to false view, there is also the meaning of 'becoming empty'--to break attachment. [Credit] acm(entry) cw(py)

The observation of the emptiness of all things, based on the Buddhist principle that all things arise through the process of dependent co-origination. A common Mahaayaana explanation of the practice of the meditation on emptiness is that in which the two "hiinayaana" practitioners (`sraavaka and pratyekabuddha), meditating on the emptiness of self 変嬻 succeed in overcoming the hindrances of defilement 斚溁忈, while bodhisattvas, contemplating the emptiness of dharmas as well as the emptiness of self 変朄擇嬻, succeed in overcoming the hindrance of the known 強抦忈. 乲擇忈媊 HPC 1.792c乴Nakamura includes an explanation of Tiantai specific connotations of this tersm.
