An idea from The Book of Five Rings

Void, a Buddhist word for emptiness, is not a name for whatever you don’t understand. Treating what you don’t understand as the void is only bewilderment. The void is what’s left when practice, day by day and hour by hour, has cleared your mind.

From The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
