It is therefore an important book for this time. Seated on the Lama's throne, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso is clearly in his element. His mastery of his topic, both scholarly and experiential, gives the audience the sense of being transported back to one of the great Indian monastic universities of the sixth century. During the course of the five sessions that ensued, Khenpo Rinpoche stressed that the Buddha's Second and Third Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma differ, yet do not contradict each other. So nothing has any essence and nothing exists.
All appearances merely come about dependently through causes and conditions.
Later, Nagarjuna clarified this point in his Fundamental Treatise on the Wisdom of the Middle Way in 25 chapters. The Third Turning was presented to counteract our tendency to these faults. Nor did the Buddha posit the existence of Buddha Nature just to make us feel good. He wasn't teaching that something that doesn't exist exists. In reality, only because the Buddha Nature exists do faults represent problems.
