What does “empty” mean?

Please tell me in an easy-to-understand manner.
I don't really understand what it means to be empty even though there is matter.
Is it OK to have the nuance that the meaning of matter changes with just one thought here?

What's the point of knowing it's “empty”?

Straight to the point, it's full

Since “sky” was profoundly explained by Ryuki Takeru, he tried to express it,
I think various words and actions were born.

Pieces of good snow didn't fall at another place
One by one, the snow is falling where it should have fallen.

I know that these Zen words also describe the sky.

What I mentioned in the title is “sky” as an elementary student.
Matter is filled with life as matter.
Where snow falls, snow is filling up.

Underlying these are “impermanent acts,” “no laws,” and “nirvana silence” by Shaka
There are teachings such as, and I tried to reveal them,
“sky”
I think that's what I placed.

However, the above are just what I felt as a child.

What is the meaning of feeling or knowing the sky
In Buddhism, I don't think that is what “meaning” can be obtained.

What a damn, snow, budding fukujugusa

There are so many injuries to this fukujugusa.
When the life called fukujugusa “comes to life,” it is “the sky.”
Still, it's fukujukusa, and I think it's called “the sky is the color.”

How can elementary school students “feel” it themselves
I think it's an ascetic practice, and since I put myself in the Zen sect, I practice zazen.
Believing that I too should be full of life as an outpouring of life,
Breathe slowly and sit back.

Donut hole

They say it's like a hole in a doughnut. It's there but it's not, it's not there, but it's there.

If the doughnut is big, the hole is big; if it is small, the hole is small. The chocolate fashion hole looks slightly taller than the old fashion hole (^^)
What we feel and what we see is actually influenced by those around us. From the perspective of the Sha family, I'm a monk; from a woman's point of view, I'm a man; from a child's point of view, an adult; from an animal's point of view, I'm a human...
In other words, there is no absolute “I,” and what is always there is a relative “me.” This is called emptiness (sky) or emptiness.

Know that this body and mind are always emptied

No matter how much theory you know about the sky, it's not really useful in real life.
This kind of Buddhist principle is not an intellectually ❝ knowing ❞ thing, but it's a good idea to ride on to yourself, acknowledge it firsthand, and directly become its own (^<^)
Our body and mind are completely empty.
Everything is taken and then washed away, and what is always refreshing is our true form = the sky.
To put it simply, it means that no matter what kind of events you encounter, no matter what kind of things you see or hear, there are no obstacles, and it's easy.
Even if you say that matter other than you is changing even though it exists, it's about the extent of wow, that's right.
Try to think of Buddhism as your own. Otherwise, there will be no living sky or living salvation.
Let's take a close look at our current situation.
This body and mind don't have anything left of the past or that just now, right?

What you've experienced is being washed away more and more automatically, and even if you can remember it, what you saw, what you heard, what you smelled, what you tasted, what you touched, and what you experienced was pretty, refreshing, and nothing at all, right?

No matter what you project in the mirror, your body and mind leave nothing behind, just like there are no leftovers.
When you see zero, it's definitely zero.
When you see △, it's definitely happening to your brain (body and mind).
It would be difficult if zero from the previous one was left when I saw △.
We can see, hear, and feel what is now because nothing is left.
That is the empty image where we are always saved.
We are always living in a brand new world with full automation, and it is the true meaning of the sky that explains the true state of humans living out of bad things and suffering in the past.
The body and mind are always ❝ emptied ❞
We are always saved from ❝ emptying everything ❞.
Speaking of why they are being saved, it is because not a single suffering they have experienced until now remains, and it has been completed there.
Excluding human opinions, what is there is a true form of human nature.
That's not logic!
By realizing, “Oh, really, our body and mind are always being washed clean and fresh,” and by living like that, we can be free from any suffering.

Understanding “sky and fortune” is the greatest key to developing wisdom

The Sha Family

Since I participated in Hasunoha, there have finally been 500 responses to this question and answer, but what can be said to be the themes I've been working on during this time was exactly “sky” and “luck.”

Buddhism certainly requires practice using “wisdom and good fortune (convenience)” as the two wheels. Among them, understanding “sky and fortune” is the most important point in the development of wisdom.

I'm guessing that “there is matter but it is empty” refers to “color is the sky” in the Heart Sutra. However, it is also necessary to carry out this in addition to the following understanding of “sky is color.”

Of course, understanding “sky and fortune” is extremely difficult, but anyway, we are obsessed with seeing things and things as a reality, but they are also in the Heart Sutra, or in the difficult term, but they are also in “kushufu,” “tainted ignorance,” and “2 (human disposition and law enforcement, club and sensible goshu),” and we are always in a state of wrong perception, and we become obsessed with things and things as a reality, and we get lost and tormented by it.

In other words, “sky” means nothing, nothing, and nothing, but the point is whether that thing or thing can exist on its own side as a thing or thing that continues to exist forever and forever without changing. To explain in a little more detail, it is necessary to consider whether it is possible to have something established as independent existence without depending on anything else (for example, factors, conditions, etc.).

To put it in an even easier to understand way, if there is something that exists independently without being dependent on anything else, it must have existed as such even before the Big Bang, which is said to be the beginning of this universe. If the current mind and body of the Sha family exist as an entity, it also means that the current mind and body itself have existed as an entity since before the Big Bang. However, of course, such a thing is impossible, but by applying that understanding one by one, it is necessary to understand from the bottom of the heart that there is no doubt about this.
