Essenceless Essence

In Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, especially within Madhyamaka and Dzogchen/Mahāmudrā traditions the phrase “essenceless essence” is paradoxical on purpose — it’s meant to cut through both nihilistic and eternalistic misunderstandings. Normally, when we speak of “essence” (svabhāva in Sanskrit, rang bzhin in Tibetan), we mean something inherent, self-existing, solid, or independent — something that gives an object its true identity. Nāgārjuna and later Tibetan Madhyamikas argue that nothing has svabhāva (inherent essence). They argued that all phenomena arise dependently (pratītya-samutpāda). If they depend on causes and conditions, they cannot have a fixed, independent essence. Thus, their “essence” is in fact essenceless.

“All that is conditioned is impermanent,
All that is tainted is suffering,
All phenomena are empty and devoid of self,
Nirvana is peace.”

The Four Seals (sometimes called the Four Dharma Seals) are fundamental philosophical principles that define the Buddhist view. Any teaching that contains all four is considered to be authentically Buddhist, regardless of tradition.
