Mornings Son, yes! The point of emptiness would be mute if not for the experience of. In other words, it would be just an empty concept (pardon the pun) without any practical value. I think the misconception...if any, that has occurred in discussions here is the idea its just a discussion. We have to discuss it of course in order to communicate it, but outside of this lies experiencing it which is the reason to discuss it in the first place. And I think many people know this, just in words its hard to express this knowing or have it be apparent. So there's the teachings and there's the doings. They are different but directly related and complimentary. The teachings lead to the doings and the doings lead to more sophisticated teachings.
