D T Suzuki
The Buddhist concept of emptiness does not mean absence or extinction or unoccupied or vacancy. Buddhists’ Emptiness is not on the plane of relativity. It is Absolute Emptiness transcending all forms of mutual relationship, of subject and object, birth and death, God and the world, something and nothing, yes and no, affirmation and negation. In Buddhist Emptiness there is no time, no space, no becoming, no thing-ness, it is what makes all these things possible, it is a zero full of infinite possibilities, it is a void of inexhaustible contents
