In this forum, while discussing emptiness as supreme truth, I came across following comment which may be relevant from Mahayana point of view:
> "The realisation that things are not as how they appear in cultivated through emptiness of self (anatta) and emptiness of all phenomena."
Poster says emptiness is empty of self and all phenomena (meaning "all Dhammas"), which translates to "All Dhammas are empty of all Dhammas".
My questions are:
1. Are Dhammas empty of Dhammas?
2. Is emptiness empty of unconditioned or is emptiness empty of unborn, uncreated and unoriginated?
I think Dhammas can not be empty of Dhammas. It is like body is empty of body and there is nothing to be discarded. In my opinion Dhammas can only be empty of self.
What is your opinion?
