Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to provide a more detailed understanding of the differences in the perception of the Absolute in the Buddhist traditions of China and India. It offers an outline of Nagarjuna's or Sunya-vada or 'doctrine of emptiness' based on the Buddhist theory of 'dependent origination' (pratitya-samutpada) and some insights into how this doctrine is perceived and ultimately modified according to some indigenous traditional patterns of thought and philosophy in the course of the Absolute and Emptiness and their reinterpretation in relation to traditional conceptualization schemes in India and China.
