You cannot support this assertion because it is not accurate:PeterB wrote:Tell me more about the "exact opposite point " Shonin.
You have a habit of making snipes at Nagarjuna, calling him an essentialist and so on. And while your objections to some Mahayana thought is on target, it isn't accurate with regards to Nagarjuna nor to the concept of Sunyata. As the article I posted stated, Nagarjuna is quite consistent with the Nikayas.PeterB wrote:In reality of course what [Nagarjuna] did was to go back and drag in Atman. Dust it off, give it a new suit and name badge and send it scampering on its way..
There is no Buddhadhatu in Nagarjuna either.PeterB wrote:there is no Buddhadhatu in the Tripitaka.
Anyway, I don't think there's anything left to discuss here.In reality of course what [Nagarjuna] did was to go back and drag in Atman. Dust it off, give it a new suit and name badge and send it scampering on its way..
