“Self-emptiness” differs from “other emptiness” in terms of cognition mainly ie dissimilarities and similarities between common statement and ultimate truth. Secular things come from conditions, while conditional causation will not have self body, which is called as secular phenomena which don't exist ie all things are void. The Jonang sect thinks that substances existing are described as “voidness” by wrong realisation or analysis of people to deny absolute substances existing; the supreme *dharma* nature is the unchanging truth permanently and the environment for intelligence enlightenment ie supreme existence. That is to say, the ultimate truth is formless, cannot be described with words, and is far from all meaningless statements so the ultimate truth is the supreme reality.
