The Mahayana school directs an investigation into the subject of emptiness, so we can then discover for ourselves whether or not we are simply grasping onto a delusions. The "I' that we habitually hold as solid when perhaps it is not so solid.
A very careful lengthy inquiry into the subject of emptiness, whether or not the self exists, if it does or does not so we can determine the true nature of self. Or the inherent none existence of a self...we ourselves (not sheep like understanding) can fully comprehend our true nature. Then we can understand the cycle of suffering that all form beings suffer from. Beings like ourselves with human shape are described sentient, all beings with form bodies are described sentient beings, all forms of beings that have mind and fear death...animals, fish, insects birds and so forth that have mind and fear death.
Buddhism investigates nature of suffering and teaches antidotes to our ills, careful guided meditations on our true nature negates the false notion that our temporary human form body is the true nature of self. The teachings explain the nature of self as moving energy, the subtle winds. Some what similar to the religious notion of a soul. Mahayana Buddhism is sometimes described as a mind only school of thought for good reason.
The Buddhist tradition determines whether our cognition of the subject based on logic and reason is an ultimate truth. and follows and or exists only in interdependence.
Its the Mahayana Buddhist view all sentient beings (Beings that have mind and fear death) have been migrating from life to life since beginningless time, our nature is moving energy, subtle winds, and have been taking rebirth in accordance with Karma's. Karma's the interdependent arising's imprinted upon moving energy, the subtle winds, created by our self/non self, imprints made by our body, speech and mind, being good bad or indifferent and collective activities; Karma's driven by certainty of cause and effect. The imprints upon our subtle winds, the causes so the seeds of our tomorrows giving rise for sentient to migrate from life to life for as long as there are the causes... Likewise for all sentient beings, beings that have mind and fear death..
Australian Government has publicly announced that it has no intention of blocking political debates in relation to this subject or any other political subject matter. There are billions of opinions harbored by people right around the glob and it is a legitimate and democratic right for people holding opposing views to enjoy our democracy based upon the principles of democracy or social equality to express opposing views politely. Please respect others have different views, we all have different views, so please visit other threads.

PS During my worldly travels, broke looking for work wandering in snow through small village in southern Germany I approached an old couple milking cows and (they spoke no english) asked if i could sleep in the barn with the cows. I was taken into a small cottage behind there house, soon after they conveyed to me i should board a bus the whole village + brass band were getting on. We went to another village we all got very pissed and returned to their place about 3 a.m..i slept in the small cottage. Next morning a daughter Sophie Schwarz of Mr Schwarz turned up, she spoke English and through her Mr Schwarz explained he was one of the Germans who jumped out of a perfectly good plane onto our blokes who were of course carrying the POME. The Maori Battalion I think you will find took a real beating in Crete and have never again been allowed to form a another Maori Battalion.
my father was in Crete when the Germans jumped. He escaped in a landing barge the motor didn't work so they drifted all the way to Egypt dad was the senor rank on the landing barge and a awarded a metal.
President Donald Trump is rushing to ‘Make Israel Great Again’ in his last days in office, dangling as much as $2 billion in aid in front of Indonesia if the majority-Muslim nation just recognizes the country.
The US International Development Finance Corporation has revealed it is willing to throw an extra $1 or $2 billion in aid at Indonesia if the world’s largest Muslim country follows in the footsteps of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates and recognizes Israel diplomatically.
