Lama Marut weighs three explanations for why the world is as it is: 1. it's random, 2. It's a God with a supercomputer 3. It's karma. Through the two truths and three Buddhist schools’ views of emptiness and interdependence he shows that things exist, but “they don’t exist the way they seem to.” He explains no-self (anātman), shows why the irritating person is our own projection, and suggests that “The way to change the world is to change you.”
