Nothing means many things depending on the context. When you say there's
nothing in the jar it doesn't mean the same as in the metaphysical question,
"Why is there something rather than nothing?" This question has its roots in
the experience of Nirvana. Nirvana is Void. Upon Awakening from it the mind
at first cannot fathom where it came from. Eventually though it realizes
that the Void is "not-Nothing", to use Gautama's turn of phrase. Others have
Awakened from it and given it different names like the Absolute, Being, The
Unbounded, etc.. Unfortunately none of these names has added much by way of
information about its nature. If you want to know what it is and why, visit
