Buddhists have very interesting theory about joining to nirvana, and nirvana is considered to be nothing. As I know joining to nirvana means-“fading away”. Any other sorts of death is considered to be kind of change, which experiences the soul when changing the bodies. The life in one body is called karma (if I’m not wrong), but the unity of all karmas is called the cycle of Sansara, so they believe that the soul (e.g. the individual, who we know, but not his body) is a soul, who is as old as this world but it has changed bodies, karmas and often doesn’t remember the previous lives. A few of them do. The only way to get out of sansaras’ cycle is to fade away eternally, to “join the father” (father is meant god). 20 years ego I read the article about some yogi, who experienced some meditation, had some visions that he described and also saw “abyss of nirvana”, as he mentioned it. That was very interesting. If I recall the details, I’ll write it to you. I think that to become nothing means not to exist. How you can feel anything if you don’t exist? You begin to sense from the moment you start to exist, don’t you? That's puzzling...
