Couldn’t one see Shiva in Kashmir Shaivism in such a way that it includes Buddhism within itself? That is, Shiva is so fundamental that even the complete teaching of the Buddha (including the concept of the emptiness of the teaching) is contained within it. I tend to see Shiva in such a way that, ultimately, it is not a fixed point, but rather something that goes even beyond that. Yet not in a graspable sense — rather, Shiva cannot be grasped even conceptually. So in a way, trying to grasp Shiva or the teaching itself is already a mistake. Does that make sense? I know that in Buddhism there is no finality and this is a misconception if one wants to grasp one. But I see Shiva the same way.
Thank you!
