But emptiness was discovered by Buddha, not devised in debate.

ah , haa ,

excuse me adding a thought here ,

"emptIness was descovered by the buddha " , can I say experienced by ,or attained by , the buddha ,
"not devised in a debate" , but prehaps the human propencity to debate comes from the sheer fact that they have no conception of it , having not experienced it ?

takes a lot of words to explain the simplest thing to a person who has never seen it !
then the words become the didactical device ,

I think we should prehaps focus on realization ,

wasnt that what the buddha was teaching ?
