Re: Dhammas
Is this concept the same as the mahyana view on emptiness?

Dhammas (conditioned phenomena), e.g. khandhas, Ayatanas, not only should be seen as they really are as anicca (impermanent), dukkha (suffering), anatta (not-self), but also should be seen as they really are as rittaka (void, without reality), as tucchaka (insubstantial), as asaaraka (lacking essence), and as su~n~naka (empty), according to SN 22.95 and SN 35.197 (See Choong Mun-keat, The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism, pp. 53-54, 92).
It seems that Dhammas are in fact not real, without reality!

"Those who create constructs about the Buddha,
Who is beyond construction and without exhaustion,
Are thereby damaged by their constructs;
They fail to see the Thus-Gone.
That which is the nature of the Thus-Gone
Is also the nature of this world.
There is no nature of the Thus-Gone.
There is no nature of the world."

Yes. If you refer to the aggregates and spheres, etc, being unsubstantial and unreal.anthbrown84 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 7:56 pm Is this concept the same as the mahyana view on emptiness?
What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

Re: Dhammas
So, can we consider: The Buddha in fact did not teach '' 'ultimate reality' (paramattha) with their own characteristics''? The term paramattha seems not found in the suttas?aflatun wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 5:02 amThanks for this awesome reference thomaslawthomaslaw wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 1:06 am Hi
