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
