Emptiness in Tibetan Buddhism refers to the absence of inherent, independent existence in all phenomena. Nothing exists by itself or has a fixed, unchanging essence. Everything arises through interdependence and relationships with other causes and conditions. This doesn't mean things don't exist, but that they lack absolute, separate reality.
