Summary/Abstract: I find that principles of Nothingness and Love essentially serve to reconcile from the beginning "greats" religions of the world: Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, as well as the philosophies "alone" of east and west. The creation of world ex nihilo relates to Christianity and to Islam – not to Buddhism – but here also "spiritual awaking" (Kuu) just is the temptation of nothing, as the absence of desire, of hope… until to any particular consciousness on the questions of life and death. The Bible impregnate the expressions of vanity (Solomon), of vacuity… as lacking of subsistentia, so as the curricula of preachers bring on themselves the former experiences of disappearance, of lacking of and privacy: both Muhammad and Chaung-tzu were orphans, to the blind traveler Paul Issus Christos appeared in the "darkness" etc. The love as well (jin in Buddhism) is that foremost and the deepest instance linking a mortal being with a mortal being, everyone of them with infinity – so that the other name for Christian God would be just the same word.
