Nothingness is a central topic in many historical and contemporary philosophical and religious traditions. However, because the word "nothing" does not have a corresponding referential object in the external world. It is not possible to talk about it in conventional referential language. Thinkers who use nothingness hence must utilize innovative approaches to language. Those non-referential approaches towards language are usually seen as obscure for the users of referential language. I will argue that thinkers from different cultural-historical backgrounds tackle this problem of ineffability of nothingness differently. By bringing their different angles of approach together, we can thus have a more complete understanding of the idea of nothingness. In this dissertation I bring together two pivotal thinkers of nothingness, Martin Heidegger and Dahui Zonggong, and analyze their writings on nothingness in an intercultural manner. I will discuss their specific concepts of nothingness and the problems they incurred. This will be done in comparison to conventional reified conceptions of nothingness. Then I will talk about how they used poetic language and silence to deal with the problem of ineffability. Zonggao's{A0}kanhua{A0}meditation can be better explained through the help of Heidegger's theoretical concept of language and silence and Heidegger's practical philosophy of language and silence can be better integrated with insights from{A0}kanhua. Then this problem of ineffability will be treated at larger scales, most prominently in the question of passing down the experience of nothingness through a tradition with non-referential language. I will show that Chan as a unique anti-traditional tradition transmitted its teachings in a way suitable to be explained with Heidegger's destruction-repetition framework. In the end I bring them outside of their own traditions to show that true intercultural dialogue can be carried out on the topic of nothingness as well. I will explain how apparent confrontations can lead towards a harmonious co-development of both Heidegger's and Zonggao's thoughts.
