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!

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?
