|
|
Geshe Tenzin Sherap began teaching the new Sunday class, "Candrakirti's Entering The Middle Way" on August 22, 2021 at 2:00pm. Candrakirt's 7th century classic was written as a supplement to Nagarjuna's Root of the Middle Way. This text integrates the central insight of Nagarjuna's thought - the rejection of any metaphysical notion of intrinsic existence- with the well-known Mahayana framework of the ten levels of the bodhisattva.

Geshe Sherap began to teach the 400 Stanzas on the Middle Way on June 07, 2020 and completed all 16 chapters on August 1, 2021. This is Geshela's second presentation of the Aryadeva's 400 Stanzas of Middle Way. Geshela taught the text once before from February 2017 to September 2019. Madhyamika is a philosophy of the middle way between two impossible extremes, that of reified or objective existence and that of total non-existence. Madhyamika philosophy demonstrates through the use of reasoning that though things do not exist independently and concretely as they seem to do, they neverless exist: their mode of existence is a dependent one. |
