Quotations: Mistakes in the sense of the science of karma arise mainly when one understands it as a science of fate and assumes that the transformation of karma or opposition to it is not possible.

The intellect of man is unable to embrace the ultimate depth of the essence of karma, so the mode of karma remains for us - in fact - a mystery.

If the absolute or total emptiness does not mean a nihilistic vacuum, but absolute transcendence, that which is absent in existence or in non-existence, then why use the word "empty" (siunja)?
