The Middle Way teachings point us in a direction to understand reality in its essence, which is beyond duality. In particular, it is beyond our notions of finite and infinite. Every moment of being has ended, yet new moments unfailingly occur. Thus, our being and our experience do not seem to be either finite or infinite. We fear that moments of pain and anxiety will last forever and hope that moments of pleasure will never end. In this way, we bind ourselves to a fabricated reality.
The continuum of the aggregates
Is like the continuum of a butter lamp.
Therefore, to say that the aggregates are finite is illogical
And to say that they are infinite is illogical.
