	Sunyata (Emptiness) in the Mahayana Context
		From the standpoint of liberation, sunyata is the skilful means that disentangle oneself from defilement and unsatisfactoriness.
		For example, sunyata and the state of nirvana where there is no rising nor falling, are interpreted by most people as a state of non-existence and gloom.
		Sunyata is referred to as "Dharma-nature", and hence there is a distinction between "phenomena" and "Dhamma-nature".

	Sunyata - Emptiness
		To some extent, sunyata is an extension of the concepts made explicit in the 3 Flaws.
		To the extent that sunyata is a negative concept (i.e., not svabhava), pratitya-samutpada is the positive counterpart.
		Pratitya-samutpada is an attempt to conceptualize the nature of the world as it appears to us, not (as with sunyata) by saying what the world is not, but by characterizing what is. I would say that pratitya-samutpada is probably just about my favorite religious-philosophical concept from within the traditions of the world.

	The Atman of Vedanta and the Sunyata of Buddhism
		Furthermore, Sunyata is not abhava or non-existence, but held to be the ultimate ground of everything, the utmost original condition of reality prior to all conceptualization and phenomenal distortion.
		Cast in terms of consciousness, Sunyata is a state of pure consciousness that one would revert to if one were able to empty oneself of any illusory constructions or impressions of an unchanging or permanent reality, whether of things or persons.
		Sunyata is the field of ecstatic transcendence and the "absolute nearside where emptiness is self." We are said to become truly ourselves when we are empty, i.e.

	The Importance of Sunyata
		Sunyata is the term which divides the Buddhist from the Outsider.
		For in the Sunyata Truth are all things that are hidden and not foreseen; but they are all holy, one, manifold, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving, that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, gentle, kind, steadfast, assured, secure, having all power, overseeing all things and containing all spirits and intelligence, pure and subtle.
		The Sunyata is everywhere so whenever someone who is with the Sunyata thinks of a place he can arrive there immediately, there is no need to ride on a drum, no need to fly, no need for action.

	Sunyata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Sunyata is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		The self-becoming void of infinitude; in Hindu and Buddhist metaphysics, sunyata means that which is empty or void to human eye or understanding because of feebleness of penetrating vision, but otherwise the absolute fullness of spirit.
		Cosmic sunyata or wu wei is emptiness simply because it lacks the lowest forms of matter -- forms and bodies which are like the spume or bubbles on the sea of cosmic reality, which to human senses is empty because invisible, intangible, and not subject to sense perception.

	The Meaning of Sunyata in Nagarjuna's Philosophy, by Thomas J McFarlane
		Sunyata, as a remedy for this error with respect to the mundane, teaches the relativity of all things, the dependent arising of determinate entities.
		[123] Sunyata, as emptiness, means that the conventional world is not, as we fancy to think, composed of substances inherently existing; in truth, these entities are devoid of inherent existence--they are empty.
		Ultimately, even sunyata or relativity itself is denied as absolute, revealing the unutterable unconditioned reality which is the ultimate nature of ourselves and all things.

	[No title]
		Sunyata is experienced as intuitive wisdom, and it is only through the intuitive wisdom of sunyata, the theme of Mahayana wisdom schools, that one is ferried across to the other shore of liberation.
		Sunyata is the emptiness of all conceptual designations and at the same time the recognition of a higher, incommensurable and indefinable reality, which can be experienced only in the state of perfect enlightenment.
		Sunyata, in Prajnaparamita sutras, is the ultimate nature of reality; at the same time it does not exist apart from the phenomena but permeates each phenomenon.

	Philosophy East and West: 'Sunyata,' textualism, and incommensurability.@ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Buddhist concept of 'sunyata' or emptiness has something to contribute to contemporary Western neopragmatism and textualism.
		Textualism, the notion that knowledge is always relative to a particular standpoint, has recently emerged as a consensual basis for neopragmatism.
		The concept of 'sunyata' is not nihilistic as has been charged, but offers a sense of higher truth without absolutism that makes it useful in interpreting the idea of openness in the incommensurability thesis of neopragmatism.

	KTD--The Experience of Sunyata-- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Sunyata is not a vacuum or a state of nothingness.
		Likewise, a realized person sees that those who have not recognized sunyata clutch and hold onto fixed ideas, and knowing that this will lead the other person to further suffering, he or she wants to do all they can to help.
		It is important to learn how to recognize sunyata so that we can realize that every perception is relative to our mind, and that the nature of labels, of phenomena--in reality the nature of all things--is insubstantial.

	Sunyata
		While Sunyata is a complete concept, it cannot be fully explained or comprehended by way of study or explanation.
		We can however become familiar enough with the subtle qualities of Sunyata so that we might actually be able to recognize it when we experience it, and not come away with a false understanding of what has been experienced.
		If we encounter Sunyata through practice alone, we may not understand what is happening, and if we study but don't practice, we can only intellectualize the concept of Sunyata, we cannot experience it, and therefore cannot truly understand it.

		With their first CD Mega-Single, Sunyata, featuring incredible tracks by such remixers as Lush79, KiloWatts, 3PM, Pedestrian and others, Basic Pleasure Model delivers on the best of what was Psykosonik while forging brand new ground.
		Sunyata, has the flavor of good old Psykosonik but I feel it takes us to richer and more colorful places for our ears and mind heart and soul.
		While taking elements from the previous works, Sunyata is much different in its construction and execution, creating something familiar and something new to the listener.

		These ideas were brought into the world at the legendary "Sleep Concerts" that were at the beginning of Rich's journey into the sound current.

	Shunyata and Prititya Samutpada in Mahayana
		Pratitya-samutpada is an attempt to conceptualize the nature of the world as it appears to us, not (as with sunyata) by saying what the world is not, but by characterizing what is.
		Thus, in Mahayana it is stressed that all things are dependently co-arisen, because their seemingly independent existence really depends on the coming together simultaneously (the co-arising) of the various parts and forces that go into making them up.
		We know that a rainbow is real in some sense, because we can see it, locate it, measure it, and so forth.

		One is the Sunyata School and one is the Tantra.
		So, to this kind of Sunyata I make a parable that means "A single knife, not beating around the bush, going straight to hit the point and kill you"--no one side or two sides, not any pairs, but just a simple knife straight to hit the point and make you die, immediately die, quickly die.
		The School of Nature is the Sunyata of Nature, the School of Form is the Sunyata of the Condition.

	Nagarjuna (c. 150-250) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Nagarjuna’s central concept of the "emptiness (sunyata) of all things (dharmas)," which pointed to the incessantly changing and so never fixed nature of all phenomena, served as much as the terminological prop of subsequent Buddhist philosophical thinking as the vexation of opposed Vedic systems.
		Sunyata was soon made to carry theoretical meanings unrelated to causal theory in various Buddhists sects, serving as the support of a philosophy of consciousness for the later illustrious Vijnanavada or Cognition School and as the explication of the nature of both epistemology and ontology in the precise school of Buddhist Logic (Yogacara-Sautrantika).
		These schools, deriding Nagarjuna's skepticism, retained their commitment to a style of philosophizing in India which allowed intellectual stands to be taken only on the basis of commitments to thesis, counter-thesis, rules of argument and standards of proof, that is, schools which equated philosophical reflection with competing doctrines of knowledge and metaphysics.

	Buddhist philosophy and Sunyata - the emptiness of all things.
		The teachings on emptiness (Sanskrit sunyata or shunyata) find their most articulate development in the Kadampa branch of Mahayana Buddhism (Madhyamika Prasangika philosophy).
		The ultimate unfindability of the real nature of all phenomena - their lack inherent existence, is usually referred to by English-speaking Buddhists as 'emptiness', which is a translation of the Sanskrit word Sunyata (sometimes spelled Shunyata).
		These experimental aspects of sunyata are described in quantum phenomena.
