Teachings on Emptiness

tmottes

Here is Thanissaro Bhukkhu giving a talk on emptiness... its long (Meditation + 6 parts ~45mins), but it is well worth listening. I didn't include part 1, which is just the meditation. If you want part 1 you can go here Audio Dharma: Thanissaro Bhukku.

Thanks a lot

@Bunks no problem. This talk really helped me to understand the term and how the main branches of buddhism use it differently. I found it interesting that based on his description of emptiness, (the first definition, not as an object) it can be realized even at beginning levels of practice.
