About this listen

What if everything you believe about reality is an illusion?

What if, at the same time, everything is perfectly complete? These are not riddles—they are the foundations of two of the most powerful schools of Buddhist thought.

For over a thousand years, Madhyamaka and Tiantai have shaped Buddhist philosophy, transforming how seekers, scholars, and practitioners understand existence. Madhyamaka tears down illusions, revealing that nothing—your thoughts, your identity, even the universe itself—has an independent essence. Tiantai, in contrast, builds up a grand, unifying vision, showing how everything is interconnected, whole, and infinitely profound. Together, these two perspectives offer a complete blueprint for understanding reality.

This 2-in-1 book is your gateway into both of these monumental traditions. Inside, you will:

  • Decode the radical insights of Madhyamaka, the razor-sharp philosophy that dismantles false assumptions about existence.
  • Unlock the comprehensive teachings of Tiantai, the system that unifies all Buddhist ideas into one seamless whole.
  • Meet the minds behind the philosophies, from Nāgārjuna, the master of emptiness, to Zhiyi, the architect of Buddhist totality.
  • Apply these profound concepts to modern life, shifting your perception and breaking through mental barriers that cloud understanding.

Why choose between deconstructing illusions and embracing totality when you can do both? Whether you are drawn to Madhyamaka’s logic or Tiantai’s synthesis, this book gives you the best of both worlds.
