Entering the Middle Way

If everything we see is just our own mind's habits, why can't a blind man see too? Khenpo Sodargye takes apart the Mind-Only school's boldest claim. In this class on Chandrakirti's Entering the Middle Way, Khenpo Sodargye lays out the Chittamatra (Mind-Only) school's theory that the eye, ear, and every external object are nothing but ripened habitual tendencies of the alaya-consciousness — then dismantles it piece by piece. What you will discover in this lecture ① Why the Mind-Only school says even your eyes don't exist outside the mind ② The blind-man argument: if habit alone creates sight, why can't the blind see? ③ A little history — Xuanzang, Vasubandhu, and the Cheng Weishi Lun ④ A funny, honest story about a meditator who only got angrier ⑤ What Chandrakirti says is really being refuted — not perception, but grasping at true existence 👇 Check the timestamps below to follow the teaching step by step.
