John Tan/Thusness:


Gelug is too analytical that is what I thought too.  However realising is the result of both or 2 authentications as I always emphasize -- direct taste of one's radiance and recognition of what the "view" is implying and that requires analysis.   


Analysis is essentially a deconstruction process like what 道德经 said, not an accumulation of knowledge , but the opposite.  U eliminate the conventional until none freeing oneself from all artificialities and conventionalities into natural state.


However elimination is not just a dry non-mentation, but a clear seeing through of how the mind confuses conventions and mental constructs as "true existence".  If that clear seeing does not result in direct taste of suchness, then it is just conceptual understanding, an induction or deduction process means there is no real release of mind reifications.
