Here is the chapter:

I don't have much to add in the way of an answer, but I would recommend 'Nāgārjuna in context : Mahāyāna Buddhism and early Indian culture' by Joseph Walser, particularly the chapter 'on the Parasitic Strategies of the Mahāyāna', which, if I remember correctly, looks at the development of Madhyamaka...

Thanks so much! 'That which is thier cessation' makes much more sense of the relative clause.

I get the pariyatti daily words in my inbox every day, and usually I just read the English. However I though it might be a good idea to actually start reading the Pali. In today's passage there is one part that I do not understand. Can anyone help me understand this construction: Ye dhammā hetuppabh...

this bit was good, addressing the esteemed parlimentarians: "I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives or worked in business or worked in trade or indeed ever created a job.

Anyway, I just wanted to bring to your attention, since I couldn't find any mention of it here, the Order of the Good Death. From the website: The Order of the Good Death is a group of funeral industry...

Very funny, thanks!

Thanks for your answer, Bhante. Thanissaro Bhikku's commentary in the BMC would suggest that this would even cover holding eternalist, annihilationist, fatalist and determinist views. It's interesting because there is the perception that the vinaya does not impose penalties for holding to wrong doct...
