>You being scared off because people you don't like "name drop" him is possibly even more retarded.
Ah you're doing it too! If I just read him then I couldn't disagree with him, right? I must have been scared off or I would not be making such judgments.

To put this a bit differently: when things are said to be "empty" that is not to say they are not there or not present. So this is not the nihilism you are painting of nothing nothing nothing. What is nothing is whatever you are assigning to the thing; that is what the thing is empty of. It doesn't have a real, essential, substantial, absolute characteristic or kernel or distinction or duration or production etc. since these cannot be demonstrated for a variety of reasons. If the thing were to have such properties or qualities the thing would actually be impossible for us to experience at all.

Dependent origination is related to this emptiness and merely affirms the negation of what is claimed to be other than empty; that is to say, all things arise on the basis of other things. If some thing were outside this relationship of infinite causality, it could not even function. It would be a non-thing. It would actually be nihilism.

Yes there is an entire school of Buddhism that affirms that reality is consciousness-only, and the very Mipham who guenonfag denies he was forced to read by /lit/, supports this, and shows consciousness is (and always was) compatible with Madhyamaka (what guenonfag calls nihilism). Mipham, also, to use a guenonfagism, "refutes" Advaita Vedanta, which has caused him to seethe to this day, because Buddhism lives free in the bad conscience of the the ressentiment filled priestly types.
