Lektion 21

What you will discover in this lecture ① Why the skeleton visualization and the hungry ghost analogy fail as proofs ② Why the Buddha taught impurity meditation as skillful means, not ultimate truth ③ How the Madhyamaka and Mind-Only school differ on conventional and ultimate reality ④ Why mind is primary in samsara — and what science gets wrong about consciousness ⑤ How self-cognition and recollection fail to establish the other-dependent nature ⑥ The story of challenging an arrogant biologist with the seed-and-sprout logic 👇 Follow the timestamps below to explore the teaching step by step.
