I’ve started to learn Nepali, as there is a growing number of Bhutanese refugees in my area. Anyway. I found it very interesting that the Nepali word for ZERO (0) is SUNYA
Could sunyata be thought of as “zero-ness” ?
Zero isn’t “nothing”. It holds a place in mathematics.
Still, I wonder about how of relates to the Buddhist concept…
