Lektion 24
Are you really learning — or just spending time in the classroom? In this session of Entering the Middle Way, Khenpo Sodargye delivers a piercing reminder: opportunities to study the Dharma are growing rare, and wasting time on phones and distraction is costing us more than we realize. He then continues the rigorous Madhyamaka refutation of the Mind-Only school — exposing internal contradictions within their own scriptures, clarifying why “mind-only” does not mean external objects don’t exist, and explaining the profound teaching: all phenomena are truly unborn, yet arise in the world like a dream. What you will discover in this lecture ① Why people today accomplish so little — information overload, missed opportunities, giving up halfway ② Khenpo’s personal vow: this may be his last teaching of Entering the Middle Way ③ How Chandrakirti uses the Sutra of the Ten Bhumis to dismantle the Mind-Only school from within ④ Why “the three realms are mind only” does not mean external objects are unreal ⑤ The two truths: when the five aggregates exist, and when they are empty ⑥ Why misusing emptiness language without realization is spiritually reckless ⑦ The Prasangika Madhyamaka: holding no fixed assertions while according with worldly convention 👇 Check the timestamps below to follow the teaching step by step.
