Buddhist Mind and Emptiness Visualization

This visualization explores the relationship between mind and emptiness (śūnyatā) in Buddhist philosophy. It illustrates four key aspects of this relationship:

  1. Mind is Empty of Inherent Existence - Mind lacks independent existence and arises from causes and conditions
  2. Emptiness Is Not Nothingness - Emptiness means interdependence, not void or non-existence
  3. Mind Can Realize Emptiness - Only mind can understand emptiness, which cuts through ignorance
  4. Mind and Emptiness Are Non-Dual - Clarity (knowing) and emptiness are one and the same

The visualization uses a central circle to represent the mind, surrounded by four segments that illustrate each aspect of the mind-emptiness relationship. Hover over each segment to learn more about these profound Buddhist concepts.
