This course is an exposition of the Middle Way philosophical tradition based on Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye’s presentation of Madhyamaka in his Treasury of Knowledge root text. Participants explore the presentation of the two realities and cultivate certainty in the view of the emptiness of all phenomena by examining the five great Madhyamaka reasonings, which are set forth in terms of the commonalities and differences between the Consequentialist and Autonomist systems. The course is completed by the exposition of the basis, path and result of Madhyamaka.
