sunyata

sunyata
a) Emptiness, in terms of a meditative state; an Eastern concept of a high meditative state of calm and freedom from distraction.

Shunyata [openness] can be explained in a very simple way. In the shunyata experience, the attention is on the field rather than on its contents. <!, , Lotus Sutra

b) The cosmic void; in the East-West dialogue, an Eastern term for metaphysics of nothingness<!belongs elsewhere, possibly WP; comparable to the kenosis emptying of the trinitarian Gods three persons into one another.

[Sunyata] is no other than form; form is no other than emptiness. In the same way, feeling, perception, formation, and consciousness are emptiness. ["sunyata" not in original quote, added by whom? with what changes?]
