There is no profoundity in denying what is self-evident. There is no wisdom in pretending that what is there is not. There is nothing affirming in denying reality. Nothing is gained by losing what is most precious.

Buddhism is wrong: about thoughts, about self, about emptiness, about duality, about reality. It is wrong because it is based in negation rather than affirmation; it avoids when it needs to perceive, it abhors when it should love.
