In this conversation, Dhammarato explains the concept of reality as Sunyata (Nothing much to it) by juxtaposing it to the concept of Void (Complete nothingness). He mentions the only four requisites that we need from the conceptualized/conventional/subjective world: enough food, enough shelter, enough clothes, and enough medical attention. In that arises a new consciousness, the one in pure present.
