Rinpoche takes the example how we relate to the colour red. We are not aware that our mind is making up that name. That is all what red is, it is merely labeled by the mind. That is the reality but we never, never think about that. We believe that is the ""real red"", existing from its own side. It is extremely unbelievable subtle what your mind imputed. Our mind has many levels, gross, subtle, very subtle. We believe that there has to be something existing from its own side. The Prasangika school teaches us the correct view. The subtle object „gagja“ has to be refuted. Then you realize that the object is not there from its own side, even not one atom of it. That view is the total opposite to the ignorance of Samsara, holding the „I"", which is merely labeled by the mind, as real. You are realizing shunyata. The compassionate Buddha Is revealing the essence of wisdom to us in the Prajnaparamita, the wisdom realizing directly Dharmakaya, the four bodies of a buddha.
