“Stillness”, as the Vimoksha state of Buddhism’s Nirvana state, is the ultimate experience of religious practice. It has rich connotations. Firstly, “Stillness” is an ultimate aesthetic experience; secondly, “Stillness” means transcending real society, the secular world and utility. In Lao-tzu’s thought, “To the Ultimate, You Yourself Empty”, “Remain in Silence and Clarity”, “Anātman”, etc., are presented, showing that Buddhism and Lao-tzu have some commonalities. Based on the text, this article will make a simple comparative analysis, after separately discussing Lao-tzu’s “Xu Jing” and Buddhism’s “Silence”, in order to show their similarities and differences more fully and objectively.
