From an early age, a view of the world as consisting of separate objects is deeply assumed. To conceive of phenomena existing in and of themselves, and as if powered by their own nature to be the way they are, is called inherent existence. This is the target to be refuted on the path of emptiness teachings. The absence of inherent existence is referred to as emptiness and when realized, one sees all phenomena as dependent reflections, like "moons in water," like a mirror. Mirrors appear to contain solid objects, but they are reflections without substance. youtube/watch?v=TreNe5D8OXE
