Buddha: "As a town situated on the frontier must be prepared internally and externally, so too should you be prepared." Thai Buddhist patriarch in 1910 coronation of King Rama IV making the point that "defence against external foes is one of the policies of governance and is one that cannot be neglected." Trevor Ling, Buddhism, Imperialism, and War. George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1979, pages 136-137

Lusthaus finds that Chandrakirti misinterpreted at least part of the MMK, falling into the essentialist camp. Page 272.

"The empirical self not only objectively affects its surrounding external world, but also generates (consciously and unconsciously) its own subjective image of this world, which it then lives in as 'reality'. It lives in a world of its own making by a) tuning in to a particular level of consciousness (by meditation or the rebirth it attains through its karma) which has a particular range of objects - a world - available to it, b) selective noticing from among such objects, and c) then processing what has been sensed to form a distorted interpretive model of reality: a model in which the 'I am' conceit is a crucial reference point. When nibbana is experienced, though, all such models are transcended: the world stops 'in this fathom-long carcase'. Peter Harvey, The Selfless Mind. Curzon Press 1995, page 247
