should give rise to that intention with their minds not dwelling anywhere."(
Bodhisattvas should not base their bodhicitta on form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharmas. They should base their bodhicitta on non-attachment. "So, Subhuti, all the bodhisattva mahasattvas should give rise to a pure and clear intention in this spirit. When they give rise to this intention they should not rely on forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tactile objects or objects of mind. They should give rise to that intention with their minds not dwelling anywhere."(10) That means that you do not base your bodhicitta on the thinking that is based on form. "So, Subhuti, when a bodhisattva gives rise to the unequalled mind of awakening, he has to give up all ideas. He cannot rely on forms when he gives rise to that mind, nor on sounds, smells, tastes, tactile objects or objects of mind. He can only give rise to that mind that is not caught up in anything."(14) So, the bodhisattva who would like to give rise to bodhicitta should not rely on form, the form of self, person, living being, and life-span.

Yes, that's right.. Emptiness is a very important teaching in Buddhism.
As Thusness says...[It] must be understood in terms of emptiness, no point of origination and no where found. The characteristics of dharma seal. The Dharmakaya itself must be understood in Samsara then it is considered right view in Buddhism. However the true essence of emptiness requires no establishment of views, itself is empty. There is no conventional understanding, there is just emptiness happening.
When we talk about emptiness, meanings all conceptual and perceptions of 'entities', in reality they are empty of existence, non existence, both and neither. Emptiness negates all these conceptual and perceptual views. Ultimately, even Emptiness is Empty, why is this so?In The Art of Living (2001) the 14th Dalai Lama says, "As your insight into the ultimate nature of reality is deepened and enhanced, you will develop a perception of reality from which you will perceive phenomena and events as sort of illusory, illusion-like, and this mode of perceiving reality will permeate all your interactions with reality. [...] Even emptiness itself, which is seen as the ultimate nature of reality, is not absolute, nor does it exist independently. We cannot conceive of emptiness as independent of a basis of phenomena, because when we examine the nature of reality, we find that it is empty of inherent existence. Then if we are to take that emptiness itself is an object and look for its essence, again we will find that it is empty of inherent existence. Therefore the Buddha taught the emptiness of emptiness."
As Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche says, the viewless view is the highest view.
Nevertheless of course.. first we need to start by knowing what is emptiness, and dharma seals, otherwise we would not be able to even distinguish Buddhist and non-Buddhist/outer path teachings, or gain liberation
And then, even the view must be taken to be empty. Emptiness is just a pointer. -
