Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Namaste, I have been out for some time, & was surprised to see how many new members have joined! I have a question- Vedant says the highest reality encompasses evrything, That, the Brahm is everything, it is everywhere, like ether it pervades everything, but cant be seen. Buddha said the highest reality is a Void, a Shunya, a nothingness... How can 2 great philosophers of India(Shankar & the Vedic Rishis on 1 hand, & Buddha on the other hand) have a such big difference of view? And pls dont say it is different way of saying same thing- as they have been fighting for more than 2000 years! So what do you think- is the highest reality Everything, or is it Nothing?

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Is " it infinity " or " Zero " ??? Is it " light " or " darkness " ??? Is it " one " or " all " ??? One can never find the answer to the ultimate question in existence by words... We have to become it.... Then we see it is 2 sides of the same coin... The same infinite becomes zero... like the same light becomes a black hole Like the same hate that is Love Like the same ONE that is ALL... Love Bala...

Radhaji, it is an Everything that contains Nothing, it is a Nothing that contains Everything. To look another way, Hindus see the glass as half full, while Buddhists see it as half empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(What ever feelings we have for god...we see god like that) Buddha got fed up with world...and had no place for emotions..and searched the truth with no prejudice ...he saw it as VOID Vaishnavas will see god as Krishna Shaiva will see god as Shiva Shakta will see god as Shakti Christians and muslims will see god as per their belief Shunyavadi will see him as big zero. and all of them are seeing the same Truth !!! This Universe is a strange phenomenon... it bends as per our demands...and shows himself as we want to see. You start thinking the whole world is bad...and u will see all bad around....think good all cosmos will become good Quantum Physics... is the nearest scientific proof of Hindu philosophy..specially Tantra Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
