In this teaching #LamaZopaRinpoche explains the meditation on emptiness using the logic from Madyamaka. First recognize the object to be refuted, the 'gagja'. You have to use the four analyses to recognize the false 'I'. First you have to recognize the enemy. Then you have to shoot the correct target. If you take the 'I' for real it would have to be either one with the five aggregates or separate from them. Then you start to investigate and eliminate the mistakes arising one by one. In the end you will find that the 'I' you are beholding as real is neither one with the aggregates nor does it exist separately from them.
