- Correction: 1:57:08 What I meant to say here was that what DOES resist analysis is ultimate, what DOES NOT resist analysis is conventional.

Again, thank you Javier for this very informative series.......it's clear and enjoyable for me to experience your own joy and enthusiasm for the Dharma .........
Hi, Javier. Your videos are great. Thank you for developing this material.
Two suggestions:
- usually, I think a lot of text on the screen during the talk is not a good idea because it distracts one from the talk itself. But since you follow it quite closely, it flows really well. One way to improve it, though, would be to add each topic gradually on the slide to go along with your presentation. This would make it all cleaner and clearer.
- the content demands some amount of previous knowledge and reflection on the topic. If you wish to connect to a larger audience, it would be nice to further dissect some details in shorter videos as well. For example: you've quickly mentioned that reifying svabhava causes suffering. For someone who never thought about it, this is not an obvious statement, and it demands some time, reflection, and more information so as to actually sink in.
Thanks for your recs, I am new to content creation so I'm still figuring it out. So feedback is awesome!
31:42 actually it seems that during the meditative equipoise of an arya bodhisattva, the wisdom that directly perceives ultimate truth, there are no phenomenal appearances, which are the fruit of confusion. So it is not just a matter of seeing things without svabhava. In seeing ultimate truth, the whole illusory structure of dualistic appearances is dismantled.
Right after that, you say something about Yogacharins. It seems that they hold this same notion of ultimate truth, which would be free from duality and directly perceived through the cessation of the illusory appearances of the seeds of alayavijnana.
