A Treasure Found at Home

some questions around suffering and madhyamika came up in a friend’s blog recently. i was trying to sort of explain the four possibilities of existence and knew i was missing something just a bit. i laughed out loud, at work no less, when i saw barnaby’s joke on tribe today. how appropriately timed.
Q: How many Prasangika-Madhyamikas does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Four. One to screw it in, one to not screw it in, one to both screw it in and not screw it in, and one to neither screw it in nor not screw it in.
