Speaker: Suzy Greanias. Suzy delves into the two truths, the worldly relative truth and the supreme ultimate truth, which are the framework in which the Buddha taught. As Buddhists, we are familiar with the words of the Heart Sutra, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form", but rather than understanding their profound inseparability, many of us have the tendency to split these two truths. We all want the realization of emptiness, but we regard the appearance of compounded phenomena as painful, a kind of a nuisance. This lead Suzy on a journey to unpack the three types of valid cognition, which we can use to investigate the absolute and the relative. She then spoke about the nature of things within the Mahayana and how the Buddha's teaching on non-self is one of the main tenets of the two truths.
