In this episode, we begin to look more explicitly at Yogarchara ideas by considering chapter 5 of Waldron's Making Sense of Mind Only. More specifically, we consider the teaching of the the Three Natures and the notion that Yogachara represents a 'third turning of the Wheel' of the Dharma.

Making Sense of Mind Only 6
In this episode, we continue to review the Madhyamaka perspective in relation to the nature of reality as presented by William Waldron in his book, 'Making Sense of Mind Only'. In particular, we touch on the teaching of the Two Truths and emphasise the indivisible link between them. We affirm that the absolute truth can only be realised by means of the relative truth.

Making Sense of Mind Only: 5
In this episode we look at the philosophical context of Madhayamaka in relation to the emergence of Yogachara thought. In particular, we highlight the teaching of emptiness (shunyata) and question the analytical method so prevalent in Buddhist thought. We also examine whether arguments against the idea of an atman (soul) are compelling or not, especially when considered in relation to Dependent origination.
