Recitation: The King of Samadhis Sutra 01
This a recitation for the first chapter of The King of Samadhis Sutra.

Svatantrika-Prasaṅgika distinction
“Emptiness,” in the Prasaṅgika sense, does not mean space, lack of physical obstruction, non-existence, or the simple not-finding of a conventional identity for the object or phenomenon being scrutinized. Prasaṅgika is the conclusive analytic absence of any findable internal quality of an object or phenomenon that is a sufficient condition to provide a name, identity, function, and/or discreteness to that object or phenomenon. The strong implication is that the mind of the observer (technically, a conceptually designating consciousness) provides the name, identity, function, and conventional discreteness to that object, i.e., imposes such a characterization to that seeming object. // The Svatantrika-Prasaṅgika distinction is a doctrinal distinction made within Tibetan Buddhism between two stances regarding the use of logic and the meaning of conventional truth within the presentation of Madhyamaka.
