But you've just described the difference between real and unreal dharma, and therefore preached the unreal dharma!
Does a butterfly need language or concepts to transform from a pupa?Would he have to distinguish between real and unreal dharma like you did, or understand that it is "transformation of mind" etc.? If so, he would have to form concepts and language.
No, but that transformation is not the same as the transformation of ignorance to enlightenment is it? This is a red herring.
By language I just mean definitions, and not necessarily the specific act of forming sounds and words and giving meaning to them.Do you imagine that we can't use the mind without language? How did we even conceive of a language in the first place?
