Enlightenment

  • envy and hatred are caused by exaggerating good or bad qualities of an object (so we now want or don’t want it)

  • exaggeration happens because we do not see things as they really are and think they exist in and of themselves

  • we think that desirability/undesirability are inherent attributes of an object

  • all phenomena are dependent-arising and thus are void from inherent existence. This doesn’t mean they do not exist.
