Constructed of emptiness which dependent arising.
[Krimel]
"Constructed" of emptiness? Emptiness arising? Dependant on what?
Krimel,
Dependent arising:
This is the understanding that any phenomenon exists only because of
the existence of other phenomena in an incredibly complex web of
cause and effect covering time past, time present and time future.
This concept of a web is symbolized by Indra's net, a
multidimensional spider's web on which lies an infinite amount of
dew drops or jewels, and in these are reflected the reflections of
all the other drops of dew ad infinitum.
Stated in another way, everything depends on everything else. A
human being's existence in any given moment is dependent on the
condition of everything else in the world at that moment, but in an
equally significant way, the condition of everything in the world in
that moment depends conversely on the character and condition of
that human being. Everything in the Universe is interconnected
through the web of cause and effect such that the whole and the
parts are mutually interdependent. The character and condition of
entities at any given time are intimately connected with the
character and condition of all other entities that superficially may
appear to be unconnected or unrelated.

Or, Krimel, to put it into MoQ terms, indivisible, undefinable and
unknowable Quality.
