... from Nagarjuna, and they did Chandrakirti's sixth chapter, so he was really swimming in it.
Daniel AitkenHOST
And basically, maybe I'll, I'll put his position on the table, and it's basically goes like this.
Thupten JinpaGUEST
He's reading.
Thupten JinpaGUEST

Daniel AitkenHOST
Okay, he's reading.
Daniel AitkenHOST
He's basically arguing that at some point, Chandrakirti or, and Nagarjuna for that matter, is saying the whole endeavor here or the reason we're philosophizing is to stop philosophizing.
Daniel AitkenHOST
And what that means is we're not trying to replace a bad view with the right view.

Steven ButlerGUEST
I mean, the Chandrakirti, the great Indian philosopher, you know, begins his great exposition on the path and the view of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, begins with a praise to compassion and praises it as the seed, as the water that nourishes the seed, and also the fruit.
Steven ButlerGUEST
And moving into Compassion Institute, that's what we try to share with others, is that not only contemplative traditions going back millennia have stewarded this, but science has recognized the same thing, that this is an essential human capacity.
Steven ButlerGUEST
And when we live from that and we recognize it, we can train it, first of all, that we can develop it, and we can be more poised to deal with the more difficult things in the world and be-- show up more for the togetherhood of humanity.
