Really? Please identify for me a “thing” that is not differentiated from all that is not that particular “thing”. (A and ~ A, and all that.) Has nothing particularly to do with Buddh ...[text shortened]... finition of “thing”… (Sorry, couldn't resist! 😉 Usually, you know, I agree with you.)[/b]

Thanks for all constructive contributions. One does end in a word whirlpool sometimes and I too get dizzy. It was just that phrase that got me, SG. Thanks for the joust.

I understand the nature of appearances is empty.
Just like seeing some spectacle displayed in a dream,
I understand that the nature of being empty is to appear."
