"lead me from the unreal/evil to the real/good, lead me from the darkness to the light, lead me from death to immortality" its in the upanishads.
hindus are much more prone to calling God full, whole, complete and self-satisfied, a fullness that is so full that everything it becomes is also full without it undergoing any depletion, than to calling God or anything else empty.

like tibetan buddhists do believe in gods and they do deity yoga so theyre like hindus in a way (seeing yoga as merging with deity instead of just a science of liberation), but if (for majority rangtongs) a very large part of the basis of unifying with the deity is considering them both shunya (empty of relative or absolute nature) then I'd argue theyre missing the point of true bhakti and true yoga which includes total surrender of the perishable for the imperishable, the illusory for truth, the loosing of the bonds of the dependent being by the ever-free being through grace.

I believe that shunyavadi sadhana only works because shunya is a form of Brahman

"Rangtong generally refers to the Madhyamaka view which holds that all phenomena are empty of self (Atman), i.e., no-self (Anattā), and inherent nature (Svabhava) and that this emptiness is not an absolute reality, but a mere nominal designation."
"for Kongtrül...non-dual primordial wisdom is truly established, otherwise the ultimate reality would be a kind of nothingness."
I agree with him even though madhyamaka says that emptiness itself is empty and not the foundation, if there is no svabhava, then emptiness is the svabhava.
