The Buddha seems to have been well aware of the outcry some of his central teachings would provoke. In several discourses, he warns that whole world would be averse to (Skt. sarvalokavipratyanīka, Tib. ’jig rten thams cad dang mi ’thun pa) teachings such as no-self, emptiness, and dependent origination because they contradict some of the most deeply held assumptions people have about themselves and the world.
