Buddhism

[Carriere:] Can one talk about the void without talking in the void? [Dalai Lama:] I think so. First of all we have to make it clear the "void" doesn't mean "nothingness." Certain commentators have wrongly accused Buddhists of "nihilism." The world we are a part of is not a being in itself, nor an ensemble of beings. It's a flux, a current of beings. That doesn't mean it's nothing.
