| DALAI LAMA: Emptiness plays a crucial role in Buddhist discussions and occupies an important place in Buddhist literature. This is because Buddhism maintains that at the root of our many psychological and emotional problems lies a fundamental misconception of reality. We have an innate belief in the existence of things as they appear to us and are ignorant of the discrepancy between the appearance of things and their true mode of existence. | |||
