In Buddhism, there are many ways for one to achieve the realisation of emptiness. With the arguments of the Middle Way, one can reason and observe this true reality of all phenomena. Through the pith instructions of Mahamudra or Dzogchen and relying on the guru’s blessing, one can also realise the empty nature of the mind.

No matter which method one chooses, it is essential to bear in mind that although all phenomena are empty, one should not form any attachment to emptiness itself!

-- His Holiness Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche
