 The refutation of each of the four extremes of the tetralemma is a logic-oriented process that helps a follower of Madhyamaka to cultivate a conceptual understanding of the ultimate truth that is taught. But Gorampa argues that logic alone will not bring about a realization of the actual ultimate truth. For this, one must also incorporate meditative practices. Gorampa argues that through repeated meditation on the refutation of each of the four lemmas in succession, one will eventually come to realize all four refutations simultaneously. We might describe this style of meditative practice as a kind of “turning off” of concepts. After one conceptually understands the negation of existence, for example, one meditates on this negation and eventually stops having concepts of things existing altogether. This process continues through all four possibilities in the tetralemma, until one no longer conceives of things at all. Again, it is important to note that this is distinct from simply arresting the process of thought.
