The Wisdom of No Self
Nothing in this world is more meaningful or spiritually helpful than growing our understanding of the true nature of reality, emptiness. Through familiarity with this teaching we can finally solve all our problems – no matter how intractable they seem now – and help others to do the same.
Buddha taught that emptiness is the way things really are. It is the way things exist as opposed to the way they appear.
In general, ‘emptiness’ means the non-existence of something, but it is easy to misinterpret exactly what Buddha is saying, so that our meditation is incorrect. The correct object of negation of emptiness is ‘the things that we normally see or perceive’. When Buddha teaches the wisdom of no self, this does not mean that ourself doesn’t exist! All phenomena do exist. The way they exist is as mere name.
