The above posted article is based on the writing of the well known Buddhist logicians, the Master Dignaga and Dharmakirti, both Mahayanist of the Vijnanavadin School of the ‘Mind Only’ teaching.

The whole article may sound like a mass of intellectualization, mental masturbation and a whole load of papanca. It is more than that; more in the sense that it is trying to put forward the message, (though certainly not clear enough as it is too compressed), that the external world that we perceived is relative and dualistic in nature. That what is ultimately real goes beyond our dualistic intellectual thought process. It is trying to say, “if you open your mouth you are already wrong, if you give rise to a single thought you are in error." It is the silence that follows after the sound of discussion has ceased and when the role of thought is over. In short, what is ultimately real can only be realized intuitively.

The role of logic in Mahayanist Buddhism, when understood sufficiently, should lead one to a better understand of the Doctrine of Emptiness and eventually lead one to realize full enlightenment.
