I heard Thurman translate or Rinpoche, that Nagarjuna said, > > "Because of shunyata (emptiness), all Things are possible. > > maitri, > > -- > Lee Love That was in aswer to an opponent that was saying that things must be inherently existing otherwise nothing would work, and there would be no possible path and Liberation. =========== Nagarjuna's Karikas Chapter 24: 14. When emptiness "works", then everything in existence "works". If emptiness "does not work", then all existence "does not work". 19. Since there is no dharma whatever originating independently, No dharma whatever exists which is not empty. =========== It means that the two Truths, like dependent origination and emptiness, are inseparable, non-dual: not two, not one. One implies the other. Everything is empty of inherent existence because dependently arisen; everything is dependently arisen because empty of inherent existence. Gileht
