Trust-Based AI Summary
🌀What is "Emptiness(Kuu)"?
The teaching that nothing has a fixed substance.
- Things arise, change, and disappear due to causes and conditions.
- The goal is to let go of the stereotyped view that "this is this" and become free from attachment.
- Emptiness does not mean "nothingness," but rather that "things exist only in relationships."
🔍 Example: A cup only appears as a "cup" when all the conditions are met, including the mind that recognizes it as a "cup," the purpose for which it is used, and the material it is made of.
🌀What is "Middle Way(Chudo)"?
A balanced path that doesn't lean too heavily to one side.
- Avoiding both indulgence in pleasure and hardship.
- Free yourself from suffering by escaping extreme views and lifestyles.
- Achieving a proper focus on the here and now, without going too far or holding back.
🔍 Example: Both extreme dieting and overeating are damaging to your health. Think of it like "keeping things in moderation."
◆The Relationship Between the Two
- "Emptiness" is the wisdom of perspective
- "Middle Way" is an attitude toward life
These two concepts work together,
and are a practical philosophy for freeing oneself from the "framework" of perceiving things and living with an open heart in the present moment.

Kimazoo Structure Guide
🌀What is "Emptiness(Kuu)"?
- "Empty" is the uncertainty of structure, and all meanings are fluctuations that arise from relationships.
🌀What is "Middle Way(Chudo)"?
- The "middle way" is a process of pursuing a dynamic balance that does not disappear due to being too abstract, nor does it become fixed and solidified, but rather walks a "structure that continues to be generated.”
