Buddhists believe in emptiness but they are unaware that emptiness is the nondual nature of the Soul, the Soul.+

Dalai Lama said:- Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulbarga).

Santthosh Kumaar:~ Abiding in emptiness without knowing emptiness is the nondual nature of Athma is a foolish venture.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. There is no doubt Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world. He told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Buddhism does not believe in the existence of Athma.

Buddhists believe in emptiness but they are unaware that emptiness is the nondual nature of the Soul, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Buddhists are unaware of the fact that the Athma is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proof. It is not possible to deny the Athma because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. Athma is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

The Athma is everything. Athma is present in the form of consciousness and is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth

.Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say, there is nothing - a nonentity. Sage Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, he will know what to do to find inspiration for action. The seeker of truth‘s subject is to know what is it that is Real.

Buddhism says:- All things are illusory and nothing exists. However, Advaita avers that it is not so. It says that the universe, of course, is illusory, but there is Brahman (consciousness), that exists forming the very substratum of all things (illusion or universe).

Remember:~

People who argue that the Soul does not exist are not aware that their own existence is dependent on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

One should not conclude because some great thinker said so or some philosophy says so. Without consciousness, the mind, which is present in the form of the universe ceases to exist.

Man ceases to exist without the universe. The universe ceases to exist without the Soul, the Self. The Soul can exist with or without the universe., which is a dualistic illusion.

However, one can attest that the Soul does exist because the whole physical existence is dependent on it. Even though one can't see it he cannot exist without it.

Without the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, nothing can exist and nothing can be known or seen or experienced.

Until one thinks of his body as the ‘Self’, he will remain ignorant of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, he remains unaware of consciousness because he exists in the dualistic illusion. He identifies the ‘Self’ with the physical body becomes ignorant of the Soul and experiences the dualistic illusion as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
