What is emptiness? Being free of attachments is the true state of emptiness. It does not mean that there is no existence of matter. Zen Buddhism has reached the end of its Dharma, however, and has nothing to teach. In this chaotic Dharma-ending Period, some scholars still stubbornly hold on to its theory of emptiness, acting irrational and absurd, as though they are enlightened to the fundamentals of its philosophy. Its founder, Boddhidharma, himself acknowledged that his Dharma could only be effective for six generations, and after that there would be nothing to pass down. Why not awaken to it? If one says that everything is empty, with no Fa, no Buddha, no image, no self, and no existence, what thing is Boddhidharma? If there is no Dharma, what thing is Zen Buddhism’s theory of emptiness? If there is no Buddha, no image, who is Sakyamuni? If there is no name, no image, no self, no existence, and everything is empty, why do you bother to eat and drink? Why do you wear clothes? What if your eyes were dug out? Why are you so attached to the seven emotions and six desires of an everyday person? Actually, what a Tathagata means by "emptiness" is being free from all the attachments of an everyday person. Non-omission is the true essence of emptiness. To begin with, the universe exists because of matter and is composed of and remains as matter. How can it be empty? The Dharma that is not taught by a Tathagata is bound to be short-lived, and its principles will cease to exist. The Dharma of an Arhat is not the Buddha Fa. Enlighten to it! Enlighten to it!
