Anyone from an atheist to a zealot, can you please take some time to read this and tell me what you think?
Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compion, was deep through the Perfection of Wisdom, saw clearly that the five aggregates of human existence are empty, and so released himself from suffering. "Sariputra! Form is nothing more than emptiness; emptiness is nothing more than Form. Form is exactly emptiness, and emptiness is exactly Form. The other four aggregates of human existence -- feeling, thought, will, and consciousness -- are also nothing more than emptiness." "Sariputra! All things are empty: Nothing is born, nothing dies, nothing is pure, nothing is tainted, nothing increases and nothing decreases. Therefore, in emptiness, there is no form, no feeling, no thought, no will, and no consciousness. There are no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, and no mind. There is no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, and no imagining. There is no plane of sight, no plane of thought. There is no ignorance, and no end to ignorance.
