The metaphysicians of the day did not like Nagarjuna because their spirituality was so firmly entrenched in "being" and 1st Cause and Atman. They did not enjoy their most cherished spiritual ideas in which they were so invested being exposed as fantasy.
"trying to substantiate and confirm something as more substantial than appearance"...hm, isnt that what is being done here? In this forum? Trying to confirm that life is more than it appears to be? More spiritual, more "substantial" somehow? More dramatic, beefy, calm, peaceful, loving than it appears to be? Therefore, isnt everyone here really suffering by that definition? Snowblind
Snowblind you are being very general with this comment. Could you be more specific?
