Emptiness

Emptiness is the way things actually exist as opposed to the way we perceive them. If we can understand that although things appear to our mind they do not exist separately from our mind. Therefore our mind is intrinsically involved in determining how things exist for us. This is the same for others as well. Understanding this we can change how we experience our world, its places, and its inhabitants, simply by changing how we think. We can create a peaceful world free from problems simply by creating a peaceful mind free from problems. This class explains simple logical methods with which we can meditate on emptiness, the real nature of things, and then by experiencing it, find the peace and happiness we long for.
