Refer to the Four Negations: In reality all phenomena are empty of 'own nature'. There is no 'essence' of things. Things and events and objects have no intrinsic reality apart from conditions. There is dependent origination but no causation - things do not arise from causes; things and events are not created or destroyed; there is no movement. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. All truth statements are conventional. Change is impossible; things do not move and one thing does not become another thing. Suffering, actions, bodies, doers, and results are all unreal. Time is unreal because present and future are all relative. The Seven States of Conciousness are also unreal. There is neither suffering nor its causation nor a path to its cessation. The three gunas are unreal and there is neither the Movement, nor the Technique, nor the Maharishi. Birth, death, suffering and Nirvana itself is an illusion too.
