Professor Thurman discusses the progression in theories of relativity in the west from Einstein to Wittgenstein, and shows how the Buddha set forth a perhaps more complete version of the same insight 2500 years earlier with what was later called "the royal reason of relativity. "
Podcast includes an introduction to emptiness, non-duality and the Buddha's radical and blissful discovery.
