Buddhism teaches that everything we experience appears to exist solidly and independently, outside of our mind. Because of this mistaken view, we project fixed ideas — good or bad, attractive or unattractive — onto people, things, and situations. This misunderstanding gives rise to our everyday stress, conflict, and emotional pain.
Through meditating on emptiness, we begin to recognize the dreamlike nature of reality: things do not exist from their own side but depend entirely upon our mind. With this wisdom, our world becomes flexible and workable — and we gain the inner freedom to respond to life with peace, joy, and creativity.
