On the essence of emptiness

“There is a sphere where there is neither earth 
nor water nor heat nor air, for it is beyond the 
field of matter; nor is it the sphere of infinite 
space, or consciousness, for it is beyond the 
field of mind. There is not the condition of 
nothingness, neither is there the state of this 
world or another world, nor sun nor moon. 
This is the uncreated. This condition I call
neither arising nor passing away, neither
 dying nor being born. It is without form 
and without change. It is the eternal, 
which never originates and never passes 
away. To find it is the end of sorrow.”
