Nagarjuna
This Indian philosopher gave us a profound and freeing account of dependent arising.
"Nagarjuna challenged us to find something outside the nature of relationships. Is there anything that possesses objective characteristics?"
Reflect: Who Are You?
See if you can identify who you are, objectively, without your characteristics. Are you:
- your name?
- your relationship to your family?
- your role at work?
- your role in society, as a customer, patient, teacher, student?
- your possessions?
