| Summary: | Frederick Streng's understanding of emptiness in the Mahāyāna tradition as a category that can be profitably used in the study of all world religions is one of his great accomplishments.

Further, the articulation must be done in language that will make sense to Western (and other) thinkers not familiar with Mahāyāna argumentation. |
