"The one thing to be attained is essentially void and compassionate. Let me explain.
The realisation of voidness is the absolute spirit of enlightenment; it is seeing that all things are unborn.
Compassion is the relative spirit of enlightenment; it is reaching out in love to all beings who have yet to realise that they are unborn.
Those who follow the Mahayana path should develop these two forms of the spirit of enlightenment."

- Part of the emptiness teachings.

Although Albert Einstein was certainly not a Buddhist, these statements sound much like it:

    "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'universe', a part limited in time and space.
    He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest
    - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
    This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affectation for a few people near us.
    Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion
    to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

    "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

From Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh:

    "Enlightenment for a wave in the ocean is the moment the wave realises that it is water."

Ultimate wisdom (jñana in Sanskrit) refers to a direct realisation which is non-dualistic, and contradicts the way in which we ordinarily perceive the world. The experience of ultimate truth, selflessness or or emptiness is beyond duality.
It is important to remember that emptiness here does not refer to nothingness or some kind of nihilistic view. Emptiness refers to the fact that ultimately, our day-to-day experience of reality is wrong, and is 'empty' of many qualities that we normally assign to it.

Describing this non-dual experience in words is not really possible, as language is based on duality and contrasts. Trying to explain this experience - which contradicts our normal perception - is a bit like explaining colors to someone who is born blind; difficult to say the least.

You were broke a long time in the mind before you became broke in the physical world....you just needed to run out of money.  It works the same way with being rich too.

Dogs get arthritis and become diabetics too.  The flaw is in the biology of this world, not in the specie.

Moonshine was so ahead of checkers in business, and being a cool place to hangout, but its lack of love from its many owners resulted in its demise.  Love was the missing ingredient for lack of success.

Water is the source of life....as there are no water in the desert, there is little life there and there is an abundance of water in the Amazon, there is plenty of life there....
