A young monk approached his master and asked, "What is emptiness?"
The master replied, "Imagine a cup that is empty. It has no tea, no water, no air. It is simply empty. But is it truly empty?"
The young monk thought for a moment and replied, "Well, it still has space inside it."
The master nodded and said, "Exactly. Emptiness is not the absence of all things, but rather the space in which all things can exist. Just as the cup provides a space for tea or water to exist, so too does emptiness provide a space for all things to exist. Emptiness is not nothingness, but rather a boundless space of infinite potentiality."
