Half of what we know is wrong.  This isn't a problem.  The problem is that we don't know which half.  Because of this, we create many dramas and dukkha for ourselves.  It doesn't need to be this way.

This course examines several major schools of Buddhist thought, with a focus on how we know if what we think we know is accurate.  It surveys how we should investigate our experience, our sense of self, the six realms, four major philosophical schools of thought (Vaibhashika, Sautrantika, Mind-Only, and Madhyamaka), resulting in Seung Sahn's modern way of putting it all together (the Zen Circle).
