YouTube is full of 20 min+ explanations of Emptiness that are lucky if they eventually get around to encapsulating it as succinctly as Geshe Lhakdor does here in a minute & a half!

For someone who has suffered abuse from his father. Calling me nothing and saying I had nothing of value. The buddist idea of emptiness always left a bad feeling in me. It as if everything my father said was right all along. Yet finally , finally someone explained it to me to understand it. Thank you sir. You put my mind at ease.

Finally someone explained so I can understand.

Concise, wonderful expression of the unity of dependent origination and emptiness! I met Geshe Lhakdor and experienced his wisdom. Yet, there is more to it: One thing more, is that the insight of causality described by the Buddha is deeper than the western common notion of causality. Second, dependent origination as emptiness is to be experienced: It is an insight, Panna in Pali, prajna in Sanskrit. It is the fruit of living the noble eightfold path: Moral life, meditation practice, and cultivation of insight. It is a lifelong practice of mindfulness and insight. Love, David Goren

Absence of ego is empty. All is egoless.

Thank you so much Geshe Lhakdor. There are too many people claiming to have knowledge on this subject who then tries to express it intellectually, but then misses the point entirely. You seem to have a total understanding of this ultimate reality as expressed through your succinct explanation.

Appreciate the clarification given by Geshe. One side of coin is “Emptiness “, the other “ Dependent Origination”. 缘起vs 性空。
