Anything that inherently exists would not involve change.

Created objects cannot inherently exist since that would involve change.

The emptiness of inherent existence of the mind is called the Buddha nature.

The potential movement of the mind from non-enlightenment towards a state of enlightenment would not be possible if the mind itself existed inherently.

In other words, emptiness is what makes the transformation towards Buddhahood possible.
