Dalai Lama Quote of the Week
Question: Western religions use the term "God", and Buddhism does not. Could emptiness or nirvana be considered God? If the afflictive obstruction that is the conception of inherent existence is eliminated, does one realize that everything is God?
Dalai Lama: If God is interpreted as an ultimate reality or truth, then selflessness may be considered as God and even as a creator in the sense that within the nature of emptiness things appear and disappear. In this sense, emptiness is the basis of everything; because of emptiness, things can change, and things can appear and disappear.* Thus, voidness--emptiness, selflessness--is this kind of basis.
