“In the context of the path, [Autonomists] settle in meditative equipoise within spacelike emptiness of appearance and [Consequentialists] settle in meditative equipoise within illusionlike emptiness of reality.” — Karl Brunnholzl Copy Share Image
“Pawo Rinpoche comments that, in Tibet, the intention of the lineage of profound view is usually explained as self-emptiness, that is, as a nonimplicative negation in which nothing whatsoever exists as a remainder after analysis through reasoning.
