Emptiness: a Buddhist concept

I've been reflecting a lot lately on the Buddhist concept of emptiness and not self. Guy Armstrong wrote an amazing book called Emptiness which I am reading. His thorough explanation of the topic is really incredible. It really gives a step by step way of thinking in order to understand this concept. Is anyone else studying this topic?

I've been reading about emptiness and practicing emptiness meditation for over 30 years now. I've had flashes of experiencing it and I believe I understand it intellectually too.
If you Google 'Thomas McFarlane,Nagrjuna's teaching on Emtiness' you may find that insightful..I did.

@Entwistle That's really amazing! Thank you for sharing! What kind of emptiness meditation do you do? That's serious dedication to have been practicing for over 30 years. I've had one realization/insight experience and I am in a meditation class.
