Emptiness is a key concept in Buddhist philosophy, or more precisely, in the ontology of Mahayana Buddhism. The phrase "form is emptiness; emptiness is form" is perhaps the most celebrated paradox associated with Buddhist philosophy. It is the supreme mantra. The expression originates from the Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra, commonly known as the Heart Sutra, which contains the philosophical essence of about six hundred scrolls making up the Maha Prajna Paramita. The Heart Sutra is the shortest text in this collection. It belongs to the oldest Mahayana texts and presumably originated in India around the time of Jesus Christ.
Emptiness is a good or bad thing depending on where your mind takes you. It can be liberating or it can be feeling that something is missing. Life is a constant searching for what fills and motivates but that is in the heart of every individual. This is calming because its almost stark yet the water reminds me that it can always be filled and cleansed. Beautiful shot and your words add power to the piece.
