Axis one · view established
View
Faith established through view — the Eight Movements lay the doctrinal ground, from first resolve to the ocean-seal samādhi.
About this axis
The Eight Movements, 92 papers, each entering by a different question — and all of them close on a single sentence: all dharmas are without self (一切法無我). Whichever road you read the canon by, it converges here. This axis does not ask you to believe that; it lays the converging evidence in front of you and lets view establish itself. Establish view, and the other three axes have ground to stand on.
