One of my favorites, as it demonstrates 'emptiness in action' so to speak.

Buddha explains one aspect of emptiness which is 100% experiential (no metaphysics here).

face-to-face with the Blessed One — I heard this, face-to-face I learned this: 'I now remain fully in a dwelling of emptiness.' Did I hear that correctly, learn it correctly, attend to it correctly, remember it correctly?" He discerns that 'This mode of perception is empty of the perception of village. This mode of perception is empty of the perception of human being http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipit....121.than.html

The Buddha then commences to outline a path of release.

Whatever remains, he discerns as present: 'There is this.' And so this, his entry into emptiness, accords with actuality, is undistorted in meaning, & pure. Very beautiful and sublime IMHO. So, have a read and let me know what you think.

Namaste
