Emptiness is what is called
voidness of absence. For instance, somebody says
Hi, look! that house is empty, or
that is a empty house, the meaning of his words, is that nothing is in the house or nobody is living in the house, does not mean the house is not existent. When we say
That bookshelf is empty, it does not mean the bookshelf itself is not existent, the only meaning of those words is that nothing is on the bookshelf.
Since it has no inherent nature,
The eye is empty of being an eye.
The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are the same way.
They are all described in a similar way.
They are not stable nor forever lasting,
Nor do they remain for a short time and decay.
The eye and the rest that are the six inner ones
Are things that have no essential nature at all.
This is what is meant by emptiness of the inner.
