A. We should discard not only all things but also emptiness because what we can keep is not emptiness. Emptiness is the state that is free from images and words. It is neither existent nor non-existent because these are also words.
Things are to emptiness as right is to left. When the former disappears, the latter also disappears along with the former. If we try to keep one and discard the other, we will become far away from the truth forever.
