Ven. Losang Donyo explains what conceptual thought is and how it functions, as well as how it differs from direct perceptions, like our senses or the special mental direct perceptions that can be created through meditation. He also discusses what it really means to live in the moment and recounts the famous debate that established the Nalanda Tradition in Tibet in the 8th century, between the Indian pandit Kamalashila and the Chinese monk Hashang Mahayana.
