Form and Emptiness

Jul 20, 2004 01:55 PM
by Andrew Smith


The Heart Sutra explains this, as far as I am concerned. "Form is 
emptiness and emptiness is form" means to me that without the space
(s) in everything, there could be no form. Lucretius stated this 
very well in "On the Nature of Things." Lucretius is well worth our 
study, and one of his purposes was to prove that gods, as we 
understand them in an anthropomorphic sense, are unnecessary. Often 
I meditate upon the mantra "All dharmas are empty" and feel good that 
this is really so. SPACE is truly our highest conception of 
divinity, as HPB indicated in the SD.
