Lama Marut here challenges some of the current Western understandings of Buddhism. As Buddhism comes to our culture we must be careful not to just extract what we find comfortable in Buddhism and ignore what might be difficult. Buddhism is not just a psychological tool for managing samsara. It is a method for overcoming all limitations (including death itself) and achieving total enlightenment in this very lifetime. Because everything is empty of self-existence, everything is possible.
