Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, they are similar.
Buddha said, ‘everything is emptiness’, and Adi Shankara said, ‘everything is full’.
Buddha said, ‘life is sorrow’, and Adi Shankara said, ‘life is bliss’.
What Buddha said is right for the first instance. Unless you see everything is sorrow and misery, you don’t turn inward. So this is a process.
Once you turn inward, then you find everything is blissful. This is where Adi Shankara comes from, within!
