I always wonder how people can casually ask questions of “how the world arises from mind” or “how the world was created,” like it’s a 2+2 question. It’s good to ask questions, but without realizing the weight of the question, you will look kinda silly. Probably the way people get instant information and gratification makes people this way.
To understand how the mind originates matter, you will need to understand first the basics and the bigger picture of Buddha Dhamma, so you will have enough dots to connect. I don’t think you can skip classes unless you are some kind of genius; it applies to Dhamma too.
