“I have seen bhikkus say that it’s a mental world and out there are only the four great elements ” – Yes, but this is the wrong way to understand the world in the sense that people can say “world or the material world is just atoms”, so what? It doesn’t take away other things because they are results of that. People cope this way by giving up on things and misunderstanding the world’s nature.
Don’t fall into trap, “this is like that, so the rest makes no sense or it’s irrelevant because of so and so”. Seeing things are they all need to be on all levels.
