Hmmm. So, is Karma itself not also formed by our minds? A part of the seemingly solid rock face along the cliffside path? Is this the mechanism whereby dharma practice purifies karma, by clarifying our minds? It’s a question that’s been vexing me.

Good point, Sarah. Perhaps the thing we entrench, more than anything, in our actions of body, speech and mind, is the notion/karma of inherent existence. By using opponent practices of the middle way to opposite this false view, we begin to destroy our supersitious view that the world outside us - and we ourselves - are how we perceive them
