Nothingness is the Ultimate Reality. A bold statement by Alan Watts. Watch this video and join him in his journey through nothingness

"There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all." -Kalu Rinpoche

Do you agree with him that nothingness is the ultimate reality? Whether you agree with him or not, you can not deny how thought provoking this man's statements are. I believe what he is trying to say is that you are at your essence, enough, and that is beautiful.
