A Question for my Twitter Sangha: is Non-Dualism the same as the doctrine of Emptiness? My experience with Dzogchen and Tibetan Buddhism confused the two (either they confused them or I did), but now I'm starting to see them as very different doctrines. What's your take on it?

I believe that they point to the same thing, although the various doctrines about to are often different.

Here’s my take on the two doctrines: about 2/3 way down this blog post are my definitions of both.

Interesting article. Buddhism as the "ultimate let down" I agree with. The way you limit emptiness to just no-self and impermanence, however, is not the usual understanding.

I also tagged on dependent origination. What else would add to the definition?

Mainly that objects aren't even objects, but just thought to be so by convention. Your text could imply that, but I'd make it explicit.

True, but I said at the end of the paragraph ‘They are all transformations of energy, expressions of physical laws, the fundamental forces of the universe itself.’

That’s that whole implicit/explicit difference. But, yes, it’s there.
