Abstract: A procedure for solving Wheeler-DeWitt equation in Euclidean region, following step by step the construction of tunneling wave function in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics by Banks, Bender and Wu, is proposed. Solutions for a universe satisfying no-boundary condition and a universe created from 'nothing' are compared to the corresponding solutions for a particle in a two-dimensional potential well, and effects of indefiniteness of metric and zero energy in Wheeler-DeWitt equation are discussed.
