pickThis book is a mental exercise in following an argument. The thoughts contained within this book are deep, but the points are logical as long as you carefully follow along. It makes your brain hurt a little, but not necessarily in a bad way (unless you hate philosophy and then avoid this book like the plague).

Two realities: accepted convention and ultimate truth... and now my head hurts.

This always seemed so contradictory to me, but then I actually picked up the nuance in the commentary this time. Everything is real (just the way we experience it in the moment) because we experience it as real, but at the end of the day, in the grand scheme of things, these things mean nothing.

I remember, vaguely, reading this (twice) in grad school, but I feel like revisiting it now when I can take more than a week to read it. #nagarjuna #jaylgarfield #thefundamentalwisdomofthemiddleway
