[MD] emptiness

[118]

Hi Marsha,
A flash perhaps, but one has to prepare for it.  That is what the teachings of Buddhism are for, else wise they would not exist.  Mindfulness is one technique, I am glad that you like it, but it is not an end result, IMO.  Buddhism is verified in the same way everything is.  It is the gathering of satisfactory evidence.
