Emptiness
When you rest in quietness and your image of yourself fades, and your image
of the world fades, and your ideas of others fade, what’s left? A brightness, a
radiant emptiness that is simply what you are. ~Adyashanti
We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality, we are that
reality. When we understand this you see you are nothing, and in being nothing
you are everything. ~Buddha
Observe and gradually you will come to see that all existence is occurring in
empty awareness. ~Mooji
If you look at your own mind you will discover it is void and groundless; as
insubstantial as empty space. ~Padma Sambdhava
‘Emptiness’ means empty of a separate self. It is full of everything, full of life.

does not mean non-existent. Emptiness is the ground of everything. Thanks to
emptiness, everything is possible. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

things arise. ~Steven Sadleir

joy of life. ~Shunryu Suzuki
The Void is both the source of nothingness and, at the very same time, the
source of everythingness. In short, the void is the limitless context in which
your entire world is both appearing and disappearing. ~Chuck Hillig
Every moment is nothing without end. ~Octavio Paz
Nothingness is an absolute infinite potential, not an empty box. ~Adyashanti
To be here, all you have to do is let go of who you think you are. That’s all!
And then you realize, “I’m here.” Here is where thoughts aren’t believed.
Every time you come here, you are nothing. Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and
eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that
is everything. ~Adyashanti
In the space of no-mind, truth descends like light. ~Osho

container to be filled by the Beloved. Of me, only a name is left, the rest is You
my friend, my Beloved. ~Abu-Said Abil-Kheir
The more awake you are, the less there is of you here. At the very deepest level
of Presence, you have disappeared and only God is. ~Leonard Jacobson

and think, and say, is for youself–and there isn’t one. ~Wu Wei Wu

I am not but the Universe is myself. ~Shih T’ou
To be absolutely nothing is to be beyond measure. ~Jiddu Krishnamurti
When you are no more, only then for the first time will you be. ~Osho
It began of nothing and in nothing ends. ~Gaius Cornelius Gallus
Look upon the body as unreal, an image in a mirror, the reflection of the moon
in water. Contemplate the mind as formless, yet bright and pure. Not a single
thought arising, empty, yet perceptive; still, yet illuminating; complete like the
Great Emptiness, containing all that is wonderful. ~Han Shan Te Ch’ing
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. ~Heart Sutra
The capacity of the mind is broad and huge, like the vast sky. Do not sit with a
mind fixed on emptiness. If you do, you will fall into a neutral kind of
emptiness. Emptiness includes the sun, moon, stars, and planets, the great
earth, mountains and rivers, all trees and grasses, bad people and good people,
bad things and good things, heaven and hell; they are all in the midst of
emptiness. The emptiness of human nature is also like this. ~Hui-Neng
If emptiness cannot dance, it is not true emptiness. If moonlight does not flood
the empty night sky and reflect in every drop of water, on every blade of grass,
then you are only looking at your own empty dream. I say “Wake up!” Then
your heart will be flooded with a Love that you cannot contain. ~Adyashanti
When you come to think about it, nothing has any meaning, for when there
was nobody to think, there was nobody to interpret what happened. ~Carl Jung
Pure no-thing-ness is conscious intelligence. ~Gangaji
No one’s mouth is big enough to utter the whole thing. ~Alan Watts
I look into your eyes and the whole universe not yet born. ~Rumi
If you are absolutely without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops
completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind. ~Osho
Unless your life arises from your spontaneity, from your very empty heart, it is
going to be just superficial. And with the superficial you cannot be blissful.
~Osho
People who have let go of themselves are so pure that the world cannot harm
them. ~Meister Eckhart
Only when your hearts are empty of the things of the mind, is there love. Then
you will know what it is to love without separation, without distance, without
time, without fear. ~Jiddu Krishnamurti
To be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of
God. ~Meister Eckhart
The highest truth is to delete, not to add. To get rid of the things you believe in
now. So empty yourself out totally and completely. All of your ideas, your
feelings, all have to be emptied out of you. When you become totally and
completely empty there is nothing you have to do to fill it up again. Emptiness
is realization. Emptiness is Brahman. Emptiness is
the Self. Emptiness is your real nature. ~Robert Adams
If we meet this world unprotected, our heart gets broken over and over and
over. This is actually a gift. You let the world touch you, it shatters you open,
and it shatters you open, and it shatters you open. And here you are, shining.
After our heart is broken open a thousand times and all of the contents emptied
out, there’s just this shining left. ~Jeannie Zandi
May God empty my very self Of all except His own presence. ~Unknown
