A. That is the problem all sentient beings are faced with. If all things seem to be empty to you, that means that you have attained enlightenment. It is just like you don’t know that your nightmare is empty until you wake up from it.
If we could see all our dreams as empty, our nightmares wouldn’t be nightmares any more. We are sentient beings because we can’t see things as empty, just as our nightmares are nightmares because we can’t recognise them as just dreams.
