The issue may point to Nihilism, or not. The party-line in the TMO (following some statements of Shakara, MMY, and Jerry); is that after attaining Unity, there's no more existence, relatively speaking. Now here is where at least in spirit, if the resident Skeptic is objecting to that assumption,

A good start, but doesn't address the issue of suffering and how to eliminate it; or the other side of the coin: getting what you want. In other words, the pain/pleasure principle. It's good that some Skeptics question the sweeping assumptions of the Buddha and some Neo-Advaitins. The latter

I am fascinated by a certain type of idea -- one so established as being "true" that one can express the idea and no one questions the "truth" of it. After a while such ideas become *so* established and *so* assumed to be true that other ideas are piled on top of the first idea, to build larger
