"And what misguided doxographer told you that Yogacara equates 
vijnapti-matra with "ultimate nature" (whatever the blazes that might 
mean)?"

I understood that Yogacara considered all phenomena to be "of the nature 
of mind". I have little idea of what that means even though I said it. I 
guess I need to read your book!

I wrote:
"If one appreciates that absorption in one's interpretations is only 
through ignorance, then one begins to sound less like a Yogacarin."

"Au contraire, then one sounds EXACTLY like a Yogacara."

Now I am more confused! Could you explain? I read this as saying that an 
appreciation of one's ignorance makes one a Yogacara?
