In Buddhism, what is the opposite of ''emptiness''
hi Bothi

one answer to your question is "non-emptiness" is the opposite of emptiness. the Buddha, on one occassion, taught as follows:

This mode of perception is empty of the effluent of sensuality, empty of the effluent of becoming, empty of the effluent of ignorance. And there is just this non-emptiness: that connected with the six sensory spheres, dependent on this very body with life as its condition.

Thus he regards it as empty of whatever is not there. Whatever remains, he discerns as present: 'There is this'.

And so this, his entry into emptiness, accords with actuality, is undistorted in meaning, pure — superior & unsurpassed.

Cula-suññata Sutta: The Lesser Discourse on Emptiness kind regards
