This world is nothing but impressions, since it manifests itself as an unreal object,
Just like the case of those with [eye floaters] seeing unreal hairs in the moon and the like.

Whatever thing is conceptualized by whatever conceptualization
Is of an imaginary nature; it does not [intrinsically] exist.

Enjoyed writing about Vasubandhu on atomism. It's really interesting to see the arguments for ancient forms of idealism.

As long as consciousness does not rest in projection only, the tendencies of grasping self and other will not cease.

"Through the magic of reflecting on the teachings, their force—sometimes clear, sometimes obscure—will cause ferment in our minds from which we can gradually distill the wisdom of reflection." –Lama Jampa Thaye #DailyDharma
How Do We Learn the Dharma?

Any appearance conceived of self or other is a manifestation in consciousness.

We think there’s a unified self that thinks, feels, acts. Philosopher Monima Chadha, inspired by Vasubandhu, argues this is a mistake. The “self” does nothing; we're just chains of causes and effects. Understanding this will make us less anxious and angry, and make us more compassionate and kinder.

he said it's all in your head, I said "so's everything", but he didn't get it

-Vasubandhu, "Vimsatika"
reply 6 if you allow the possibility of elements being produced by the karma of the inhabitants of hell why do you not instead allow the transformation of consciousness why not this allow that it is their consciousness that has been transformed by their karma? why instead invent [material] elements [produced by karma]? moreover 7. you suppose that the effect is someplace other than where the karmic trace is
