Fullness & Emptiness : Vedanta and Buddhism

Buddhism and Vedanta emerge from different contexts but share remarkable parallels. While Vedanta speaks of Brahman, the ultimate reality, and its identity with the individual Self (Atman), Buddhism emphasizes the direct examination of experience and the realization of Nirvana. Despite apparent metaphysical differences, both traditions offer sophisticated methods for investigating consciousness. This volume addresses the Buddha's central teachings, the concept of Pūrṇam (Supreme Fullness), and Śūnyam (Emptiness), illustrating how these paths lead to the highest truth. Drawn from Swami Sarvapriyananda's insights, it illuminates the intersection of these ancient wisdom traditions.
