The Buddhist concept of Śūnyatā, translated as "emptiness" or "voidness," is a philosophical idea that asserts that all phenomena lack inherent, independent existence or self-nature. Instead, all things are interdependent and interconnected. Śūnyatā is intimately related to the concept of Buddha-nature which refers to the potential for enlightenment that exists within all beings. Buddha-nature itself is not an independent entity but empty, like everything else. This understanding helps practitioners perceive it as a means to realize enlightenment #shorts
