Everyday Life

At the end of chapter 16 of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, where Nagarjuna is talking about Nirvana, he writes the following:
“People who say that they want to stop grasping and get the state of Nirvana are really grasping for something. In the state where Nirvana is not something to be attained and everyday life is not something to be abandoned, what is everyday life, how shall we conceive of Nirvana?”


In this Video John examines this question, and how we can understand “everyday life”
