Question: What is your attitude towards the concept of Void?
Answer: The term Void (Shunia) is considered in philosophical aspect in Buddhism. There are some schools, which attempt to deify Void. But this is not correct. Void is just that in which ALL exists. Void is not the Goal. But in meditative practice cognition of it is of great importance. For example, Lao Tse gave the following meditation: "I shall complete the void in myself � and utter peace I shall attain"
Void can be cognized in the highest meditations. It has no radiance at all. But it should not be mistaken for blackness that is a reflection of coarse energetic states.
