What is the sky, for example, is a combination of flesh, skin, and internal organs, and there is no reality.
Other animals and plants are also made of all kinds of things, such as home appliances and cars, and there is no reality.
Is it like there are no nukes?
“”
↑ this kind of kanji. A key bracket with no content.

Certainly, “empty” indicates “no substance.”
Also, as mentioned, what can be a dependency between a whole and a part means that the essential thing that adds to it is not somewhere on the side of the thing itself, and it is made up of various parts and components gathered together.
What is based on it is called “luck.”
In addition to total and partial dependencies, there are also two dependencies that can be named after cause, condition, and effect, or simply by relying on our discerning thinking.
Since all things and things can be lucky, the illusion that there is nothing is not absolute. However, this does not mean that there is something essential, substantial, somewhere that adds something of itself to any of these.
As for the sky and good fortune, I hope you practice in a well-balanced manner without being biased towards either the broken side or the normal side.

It's empty. You can also understand it in line with that kind of thing.
So why was it necessary to say “there is no substance”?
I think that's important, but if I were to compare it, it would be conveyor belt sushi.
Let's say you're always looking at a plate two or three ahead and looking for a sea urchin you once ate.
However, in the meantime, other delicious salmon roe, crab, and tuna passed by, and I missed out on a precious encounter.
Rather than waiting for “the sea urchin I'm drawing in my head = it's empty because it hasn't come to reality” you don't know when it will come, “eat” what's coming to you now! That's it.

If it's about conveyor belt sushi, it's not a big deal, but when this becomes driving a car, etc., things become serious, doesn't it?
...
When we experience something pleasant, that comfort lasts, and we crave that it intensifies
(This is called ton's affliction)
When people experience something unpleasant, they crave getting rid of that unpleasant thing.
(This is called gin's affliction)
Therefore, the mind does not always know how to be satisfied and is restless.
In other words, in order to stop suffering from “craving to continue or end,”
It was explained that what they are chasing is nothing but “images and words in the brain,” or that the reality is empty, such as a jumble of parts.
There are higher-level skies, but it's easy to get confused if you don't go in from all over.
The purpose of any level of understanding is to be able to accept what is happening now as it is.
The deeper your understanding, the more it helps you move away from obsessions.
Kazo Kazumoto left an article called The Four Great Sentences.
I'll introduce it in a written sentence.
It will be built in an empty or five chambers hypothetically after the four
Keep a treasure name here and there and call it Ikko
That's why it has traditionally been cherished in the Ikkō school
This is an unwritten sentence. The big four indicate the earth, water, fire, and wind, and refer to natural phenomena in this world. As you can see from the five elements that make up a human being, the five elements that make up a human being are the five elements that make up the five elements that make up a human being. It indicates color (= body), reception (= sensation), thought (= imagination), action (= action of the mind), and consciousness (= consciousness), and indicates the body and mind.
I'll try to translate the previous sentence in my own way.
“The world is all empty. Both the body and the mind were hypothetically created. It is the perfect role to parade with Namu Amida Buddha and establish it here and there.” It's a statement of pledge, isn't it? I'm in the Ikko group, so I love this gossip.
I hope it's helpful.
Explain “sky” by contrasting it with “color.”
“Color” is a state where “individuals” can be distinguished and recognized.
“Empty” is a state of subdivision (decomposition) to the extent that “individual” cannot be identified. Also, it is a state where it can become another “individual.”
For example, the “color” called a “pancake” is made from flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, and milk, but each of these ingredients is not called a pancake.
From something that has no substance called a pancake, it is the first time it becomes a pancake after going through proper processes such as mixing and heating the appropriate ingredients.
Even if you use the same ingredients, it won't turn into a pancake without going through the proper process.
Even if you mix only the flour and heat only the eggs, the resulting “color” is a fried egg, milk, and pancake mix.
Even though the components of the “color” called humans are almost the same, they become different “colors” called “you” and “me” depending on the environment and conditions.
The relationship between “color” and “sky” is roughly like this.
By the way, Buddhism is not a teaching whose ultimate purpose is to scientifically elucidate things.
How do we grasp and live in a world full of suffering and where it is difficult to live? It's a teaching of salvation called...
The “color” called “anguish” faced by one's own body does not have an entity called “anguish” when broken down.
By disassembling it and reconstructing it in a different way, we aim to resolve suffering as “something that is not suffering” and to be freed from anguish...
This is the “Four Sentences Theory” preached by the Buddha.
