… now we have a new opportunity to rediscover what is ours, for the benign influence of eastern nonduality in the West may have opened the space and created the receptiveness necessary for the recognition of Schopenhauer’s message; it may have finally given us the tools—the language—to fathom and appreciate a line of reasoning and insight that has eluded presumed experts for decades.

Schopenhauer is magnificent, though I don't in the end find his arguments entirely convincing. The World as Will and Representation is worth reading just for the obiter dicta, and there is a great more to the work than them.
