For me personally, the teachings of Shinzen and the Mahamudra tradition have been helpful in framing Zero in such a way that it doesn't just become depressing nihilism - they reflect the inseparability of experience and non-expereince, vivid and empty. Others like other stuff.
People resist this notion of nirvana as Zero, perhaps because they can see the duality of experience and non-experience. Later Buddhisms make practical use of this duality. So we may ask, how does the acceptance of non-experience - zero - impact my experience? What does it do?
How can people “see the duality of experience and non-experience?” Non-experience is only ever imagined, and hence is an experience. No?
I suppose imagination is really powerful - certainly powerful enough to make a person resist a concept of annihilation. I’d also say that even before a complete collapse of experience - as in nirodha - it’s not difficult to see experience falling apart. Where does a thought go?
It is the ultimate lesson that without the subject-object duality consciousness disappears. It's ironic! That which we try so hard to gain (true experiential non-duality) is that which causes nothingness to occur.
