“Ignorance, that is not seeing the true way in which things exist, is the beginning of a wrong view about the entire phenomena.”

“The self exists because of others and others exist because of the self. Seeing this interrelatedness, the dependence of these pairs, you can apply this view towards the entire universe.”

“When there is division, conflict is almost inevitable. In turn, that conflict leads to negative emotions such as attachment, hatred, anger and ignorance.”

“The phenomena of the entirety of existence appear to the mind of the unenlightened person as existing inherently by their own nature or by their own independent existence. Due to this appearance we have the illusion of grasping the things as if they have a true nature or an absolute nature like the self and the other, which is the root of division.”
