Oh, and I'm a big fan of the Madhyamaka and Yogacara philosophical systems in Buddhism and of the Upanishads (as a contemplative's manual). I wish I could've told my younger self about them😂.

Many assume Yogacara dismisses the existence of the external world. William Waldron offers a different view.

An Enlightened Mind is like a still lake... free from duality. In Yogacara Buddhist Philosophy, the Dharmakaya represents Eternal Truth - unchanging and ever-present, beyond birth and death. It is the Pure Awareness that remains when Ignorance fades. 🙏
