Well... I am not a very enthusiastic fan of Mahayana philosophy so I can speak with the authority of someone that is very involved with it but the exploration I did for some time into that movement gave me a uncomfortable feeling of a religion, that, in words of Kris, change God to Emptiness as a kind of ultimate reality. This Emptiness results curiously very similar to the Atman of the Hinduism and much more to the Theosophical Atman.

This kind "ultimate reality" [world/cosmos view?] has open the door to the many metaphysical realms that pervades this Mahayana worldview. This kind of Absolute or ultimate reality [ultimate speculation?] equates with one of the warnings the historical Buddha gives to Vacchagotta posted at the Opening Post. There is no need to elaborate around ultimate emptiness if mind is settled, clear and aware in the present moment.
