At one time he would address them in words that expressed the utmost depth of his knowledge. At other times he would tell them simple things within the compass of their ready understanding, in words that were taken from the ordinary speech used among themselves. In both modes of speech, he spoke what was true. But in the former mode he spoke what was final, ultimate truth and fact; in the latter mode, what was true for the people and the time to and in which he spoke.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWe use these words  universe  and  things  because they are terms of current speech, and there are no others available to express more nearly what we mean; but in the Buddhist way of envisaging life there is no  universe  and no  things  in the sense in which these words are ordinarily used. For the Buddhist way of envisaging what is here is one that is not satisfied to skim surfaces, but goes into things, penetrates them, and seeks to find out what they are at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003chr\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"iframe-container\"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/730604580?quality=1080p\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\"\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cinput type=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location='https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download\u0026amp;id=18xPI0NchTeHwOkGVA2BsITgqEzkwKrvM';_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'audiobooks_audio', 'Two Buddhist Essays_SingleMP3']);\" name=\"Add\" value=\"Download Single File (17MB)\" class=\"btn\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cinput type=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location='https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download\u0026amp;id=1AJVIr4hm5GmjzGgxO2rZxKmXFB_M--mw';_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'audiobooks_audio', 'Two Buddhist Essays_ChaptersMP3']);\" name=\"Add\" value=\"Download Chapters (17MB)\" class=\"btn\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pVrMFLUSAdA\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"youtube_link\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView on YouTube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/Audiobooks_c_40.html\"\u003eCheck out our complete audiobook catalog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eWe are grateful to the volunteers who offered their time and skills creating this product so that we can offer it freely.
