Thats a quite pedestrian view of Buddhism that may have sufficed for ignorant lay people.
But, being an intelligent person, you're going to want to go for the meat of it, which is to realize emptiness of the ineffable and see that both subject (observer) and object (observed) are empty. In short, meditate.
- logicchains 12y agoMeditation isn't necessary; you don't need to be a Buddhist to see that, with sufficient analysis/deconstruction, distinctions between the subject and object - or between anything and anything - break down and reveal themselves as arbitrary. Meditation corrects errors in thought by stopping thought. But logical understanding of the fallacious nature of concepts allows such errors to be avoided even when not meditating.
