Episode 12: Entering the Middle Way 12 Why Cause and Effect Are Real but Not Truly Existent

Sobre esta lección

If nothing truly arises, does that mean nothing matters? In Lesson 12 of Entering the Middle Way, Khenpo Sodargye continues explaining the Madhyamaka analysis of arising. This teaching examines why phenomena do not arise from themselves, why arising from “other” also cannot be ultimately established, and how cause and effect still function within conventional truth. This is the heart of the Middle Way: emptiness does not deny appearances, karma, or dependent arising. It reveals that things function precisely because they are not fixed, independent, or truly existent. What you will discover ① Why self-arising cannot be established ② The difference between ultimate truth and conventional truth ③ Why cause and effect still work without inherent existence ④ How Madhyamaka refutes arising from “other ⑤ Why emptiness is not nihilism, but the wisdom that cuts grasping
