The papers included here explore the implications of this argument for research on developmental linguistics, metalinguistic discourse, sociocognitive development, ecological psychology, the enactive philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.

Samsara is full of suffering and is therefore impure. Nirvana is bliss and therefore has merit. Neither would exist without the Buddha-Nature.
