" In Truth, the basic ground and the true nature of everything
is
shunyata, great emptiness ...
The only difference is a person’s capability to understand
this
absolute truth, this empty nature.
Some see it in a narrow way, others in a completely open
way.....
This results in the different expressions in absolute view,
although the basic ground is always the empty nature itself,
which is adamantine, forever unchanging, and beyond
all these various kinds of teachings."
