Thanks David, this interpretation is much closer to the biblical theist idea, with some differences. I still have some problem with the seeming contradiction in description, emptiness is not empty and the Void is full of forms, but the forms are empty. A bigger concern is that in his book The Universe in a Single Atom the Dalai Lama argued against the idea of God Almighty, holding strongly to the idea of an eternal universe without creation and without the need for a first cause. Their position uses the endless regress argument against God and the idea of an initial cause asking where did this cause come from. Does Buddhism really embrace the idea of God Almighty?
