Samsara, nirvana and sunyata

Whatever can be conceptualized is therefore relative, and whatever is relative is Sunya, empty. Since absolute inconceivable truth is also Sunya, Sunyata or the void is shared by both Samsara and Nirvana. Ultimately, Nirvana truly realized is Samsara properly understood.

Nagarjuna

Very beautiful. My plans for the future includes to go deeper on the subject of sunyata and what it really means. Both in regards to my personal philosophy and what it means for buddhism. I like buddhistic metaphysics but as with so many things I dislike alot of the moral and ethical stuff that it endorses. Not always the principles per se but also why they are to be used.
