Sunyata is the liberating feeling that arises during meditation, the sense of freedom from one's thoughts and distractions. It is also said that the realization of sunyata is the key to attaining enlightenment and true wisdom.

Reaching this state means the yogi has realized that the five skandhas (the elements that make up the human being: form, perception, sensation, consciousness and mental formation) are impermanent and not related to any sort of inner Self. In this context, sunyata refers to the fact that we are essentially empty of the individual Self that we tend to think of as being “us.”

Dharmata is that which is considered to be the ultimate, unconditioned nature of reality completely free from conceptualization. Some say dharmata cannot be perceived with the intellectual mind.

Dharmata is seen as the intrinsic nature of phenomena, which is what occurs when the mind is clear of obscurations. It forms the foundation for all being and is the all-pervading essence of existence. Dharmata is the absolute from which all else can then proceed.

However, dharmata is not a nothingness or an indifference, but it is filled with the wisdom of non-duality, compassion, clarity and bliss. When an enlightened individual perceives dharmata, it is said that they see deeply the uncontrived and unconditioned nature inherent in the lack of any separation.
