Nihilism is the philosophical posture that denies the existence of everyone and everything. Eternalism imputes permanent existence to that which is temporary. The former deprecates, the latter exaggerates.
Both, sooner or later, lead to antinomian behaviors. Everything is the same to nihilists and eternalists, either because all is nothing, or because all is indistinctly ‘divine’.
Those who cultivate the Dharma perceive all that exists as existing, and all that does not exist as not existing, without deprecation or exaggeration. The higher the view, the more careful their conduct.
For sure. Now listen to music and see how you feel/ react. You don’t like It ? Ask yourself what is the purpose of your quest .

Beautiful!
To overcome eternalism and nihilism, my master quote Lama Tsong Khapa : nothing exist by its owm way (against eternalism) because their existence depends of causes and conditions (against nihilism). He compare sometimes emptiness and inter dependance.
