Abstract


Lalitavistara is a scriptural story about Buddhist miracles. This is the writings of the Sarvastivada. Which is a denomination "Everything is real", meaning that it is the Five Groups of Existence or the whole of the past, the future and the present exist, because the succession is a factor for each other. But such beliefs. Not likely to be all true. Because of the content in the Lalitavistara. Thus found that there is a concept of empty. Sanskrit uses the word "Sunyata" to match Pali "Suyyata” meaning that "Emptiness".
1. Emptiness from the individual animals.

development.
