- Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Ornament of Stainless Light/Glossary + (Emptiness taught in Kālacakra is of two ki … Emptiness taught in Kālacakra is of two kinds. In a strictly Geluk interpretation, aspected emptinessrefers to empty forms in general and specifically to the mahāmudrā consort “endowed with every supreme aspect.” This is the main “wisdom” meditation of the six yogas, the kāla of Kālacakra, and the direct cause of the enlightened body of Kālacakra. Nonaspected emptiness is the ultimate truth emptiness taught in the perfection of wisdom sutras and is the object of the bliss consciousness, or clear-light mind, manifested in the completion stage. It is the main “method” meditation, the cakra of Kālacakra, and the direct cause of the dharmakāya or enlightened mind of Kālacakra. Alternatively Kīrti Tsenshap Rinpoché says that according to Khedrup Jé, aspected emptiness is specific ultimate-truth emptiness linked to specific phenomena, while nonaspected emptiness is the general phenomenon of emptiness. The Jonang tradition would say that the nonaspected emptiness as taught in the perfection of wisdom sutras, or the second turning of the wheel of dharma, has no essence, is a nihilistic emptiness, and therefore is ineffective in the development of enlightenment. Aspected emptiness, on the other hand, refers to the ultimate-truth buddha essence eternally present in al living beings or, in a tantric sense, to the ultimate-truth māhamudrā consort “endowed with every supreme aspect,” whose practice will lead to enlightenment in the form of Kālacakra.to enlightenment in the form of Kālacakra.)

In the Mahayana, ''shunyata'' is said to be the ultimate nature of "what is." Phenomena are "empty" in the specific sense that they have no enduring essence that can be objectified, conceptualized, or named. What they inherently are is, thus, utterly beyond language and the ability of the mind to grasp. This "ineffability" of things is experienced by the thinking mind as utterly empty, but by the nonconceptual, inherent wisdom of our buddha-nature as "inseparable appearance and emptiness." In other words, while things are empty in the way stated, they continue to appear, "beyond thought."they continue to appear, "beyond thought.")
