Chittamatra

Chittamatra, or "mind-only" philosophy, is a Buddhist perspective emphasizing that our experience of reality is entirely shaped by the mind. It suggests that external objects don't exist independently; instead, everything we perceive arises from our consciousness and mental processes. This view highlights the importance of understanding and transforming the mind to achieve enlightenment, as our perceptions and attachments are rooted in mental projections. Chittamatra encourages introspection and awareness of how perception constructs reality, aiming to realize the pure nature of the mind beyond illusion.
