Entering the Middle Way

Can the world truly arise without a cause? And what happens when wrong view takes root? In this session of Entering the Middle Way, Khenpo Sodargye refutes the Charvaka school’s claim that all phenomena arise without causes — using razor-sharp Madhyamaka logic to show why a causeless world is impossible. He then exposes the hidden danger of denying past and future lives, calling wrong view “poison” that corrupts everything it touches. What you will discover in this lecture ① Why causeless arising is logically impossible — the sky-flower argument ② How the Charvaka school denies future lives — and why they cannot ③ What the Diamond Splinters Reasoning reveals about the nature of all phenomena ④ Why wrong view is more dangerous than broken precepts ⑤ How to protect your right view in an era of nihilistic influence ⑥ The spirit of study — hearing the Dharma anytime, anywhere 👇 Check the timestamps below to follow the teaching step by step.
