There is no inexistence involved, as form -- >phenomenon as it appears to us -- is just what it is, exactly where it is, but >the essence that we unconsciously impute to it -- Dharmatroll's self-stuff >invested by us -- is absent. So, absent the mentation that imputes essence, all >is reality, right where it is, without further ado, and on the contrary, when >that mentation is present and imputes essence, just that is delusion. That is >all there is both to the slogan and to Buddhism.>> Ah, Guru Protector Tangjushri, you just gave an exemplary explanation of the prasangika madhyamika point of view.... your words sounded exactly as they would have been spoken by Holy Chandrakirti himself!!!
