| Summary: | The comparative analysis of such religious notions as nihil in Christianity, mājā in Hinduism, šūnyatā in Buddhism etc. shows that they all mean one and the same existential dependence of living beings on the outward agent. It means that man is not endowed with self-existence and lives thanks to this outward source of being. Man is pure nothing or illusion or emptiness without God, Brahman, Dao, etc. Obviously the dependent existence is not just a speculation rather it is an experiential unit. Nihil, mājā etc. may be experienced by man if he crosses his own boarders in order to perform an ontological transformation in himself. In other words, to attain the soteriological aim a human being needs to cross the boarders of the profane human reality, i.e., he must perform the complete ego annihilation experienced as the state of nothingness or death. The life abode, in its turn, is situated beyond the human boarders representing the perfect awareness of the mentioned existential link. |
