“The basic teaching of the Buddha is that the mind is originally uncontaminated. There is no concept of original sin in Buddhism. Defilement to accrue to the mind but they do not i here”
This was a subtle but significant aspect of my early attraction to Buddhism.

Brilliant. Like the text the book is analyzing, it packs a lot of wisdom into a small space. Both this and Mu Soeng's writing on the Diamond Sutra are must-reads.

Typical of Mu Soeng, offering immense insight in this ancient text. I was initially concerned about the intention to parallel quantum mechanics by a layperson, but so far the intellectual breadth has been refreshing and QM has played a minor (but important) role.
If anything I have taken away this (paraphrasing), “Conceptions of self are real, but it does not mean the self exists.”
