However, it is for those who are willing to read scholarly, seemingly dry and theoretical works.

One comment about the Japanese Zen article:

[10:29 AM, 6/4/2020] John Tan: Issue about a mirror is always it gives people a sense of something is beyond.  Instead of bringing ppl into the relative, conventional, day to day.  Seeing the nature of the relative and conventional is the key and is where profound insights and wisdom lie.
[10:29 AM, 6/4/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Oic..
[10:31 AM, 6/4/2020] Soh Wei Yu: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/japanese-zen/

[6:16 PM, 6/4/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Tsongkhapa seems to accept external reality and reject yogacara idealism

[6:16 PM, 6/4/2020] John Tan: "external" is not the right word.
[6:17 PM, 6/4/2020] John Tan: When I finished compiling I will think of of to present the understanding of mmk in an unorthodox way.
