sunyata

noun2

1. •
   Emptiness, the absence of an intrinsic essence or nature which is stable and separable from other things.

   • However since emptiness empties itself and so cannot itself be an object of attachment, dynamic 'sunyata' empties itself out as just the things themselves. — 1993
2. •
   Emptiness, in terms of a meditative state; an Eastern concept of a high meditative state of calm and freedom from distraction.

   • Shunyata can be explained in a very simple way. […] In the shunyata experience, the attention is on the field rather than on its contents. — 1975
