JK We seem to think that education stops when we leave school or college. We seem not to treat the whole of human existence as a process of self-education that is constant and perhaps never-ending. Most of us limit education to a very short period, and for the rest of our lives carry on in rather a muddle, learning only a few things that are absolutely necessary and falling into a routine—and of course there is always death waiting. This is our life really: marriage, children, work, passing pleasures, pain and death. If this is our whole life, which apparently it is, then what really is the meaning of education? We never ask these fundamental questions; probably they are too disturbing. But as we are teachers in colleges and schools, we must ask what the purpose of education and learning is. We know it is to prepare us for some sort of job and responsibilities, but apart from that preparation, what do we mean by teaching and what is the teacher? As it is generally understood, a teacher, having studied certain subjects, informs the student about them. Does this constitute being a teacher, just passing on knowledge? We are inquiring into the nature of the teacher and the taught. Who is a teacher? What are the implications of teaching apart from following the curricula? —Krishnamurti

It’s really good to get out of our lives from time to time. When we get some distance, we can see how much we have been investing in what seems so real. When we’re all wrapped up in it, there seems to be such a real solid city full of real worrying problems – loads of problems, far more problems than there are people.

QWhy is 'Adi Shankaracharya' called 'Prachhanna Bouddha' (Hidden Buddhist)? Which Buddhist principles were they supportive of?

Kalisamharta

,

The core principles of Advaita and Buddhism share a close resemblance and this is further corroborated by advaitic works before shankara(i mean the lineage of shankara i.e his guru and etc).

Advaita emphasises on nirguna brahman which is defined as that something which is devoid of all qualities- this position is very similar to that of Buddhist shunya which again denies the existence of brahman and calls shunya as the ultimate goal. Advaita accepts brahman but goes as far as to deny him the very consciousness and qualities which define ‘existence’; this in a sense is very similar to shunya.

Advaita denies the existence of material world(relative to brahman) while it confers a temporary pseudo like reality status to the universe which they call as vyavaharika satta. Buddhists on the other hand do the same by emphasising on shunya while ascribing the reality a temporary pseudo status.

Further, the two philosophies share a very close similarities in some of their theories which is why the notion “Pracchanna bouddha” became popular.

If you’re still here …AB 

If we know that everything is merely imputed by conceptual thought, not other than its emptiness, then it is not hard to see that if we purify our thoughts, we purify our world.

AND … if we realize this true nature of all phenomena with the mind of great bliss, then we see everything not just as a manifestation of its emptiness but of great bliss and emptiness. Which gives rise to even more bliss. As Venerable Geshe-la explains about Tantric Yogis in Tantric Grounds and Paths:

ck any experience is highly informative, distinct because of the way it is. Each experience is informationally rich, containing a great deal of detail, a composition of specific phenomenal distinctions, bound together in specific ways. Every frame of every movie I ever saw or will see in the future is a distinct experience, each one a wealth of phenomenology of colors, shapes, lines, and textures at locations throughout the field of view. And then there are auditory, olfactory, tactile, sexual, and other bodily experiences—each one distinct in its own way. There cannot be a generic experience. Even the experience of vaguely seeing something in a dense fog, without being clear what I am seeing, is a specific experience.

Hari Om. Om Namo Narayan. Orders.

Happy Sunday to all friends.

In your consciousness, the wave of the actions of the mind comes and goes. And you know the sleep state of mind in your consciousness from experience. Because the mind knows two things; to wake up the wave of thoughts spontaneously and to go to sleep; when the mind does not have action and the mind does not sleep, you can enter into meditation.

Entry into meditation means you have become available to awareness.

Meditation means neither thought, nor sleep; meditation is awareness. When you keep awareness as a witness, you can become a witness. Witness is your state, your actions and your thoughts, you can now become a witness;

Sakshi or ni fairy from duality; Sakshi means purest state.

You start living in the world with the feeling of witness. The world cannot attract you: the aspiration of the world is illusion and the witness of the world means you have become a witness to Maya too.

The one who becomes the witness of Maya becomes the form of Shiva and always stays in joy.

May you all be blessed and happy.

सर्वे जनाः सुखिनो भवंतु।

People: May the whole world be happy.

Om Shanti Peace Peace:

The chiaroscuro pattern of cell bodies in the middle drawing, oriented from top to bottom, resolves into six layers that make up this structure. Shaped like a highly folded pizza or pancake, it forms the cortex’s gray matter (right).

It is the “sensory” cortex, much as the frontal cortex is the “action” cortex. ################### ‘mystical experience,’ is: A (purportedly) super sense-perceptual or sub sense-perceptual experience granting acquaintance of realities or states of affairs that are of a kind not accessible by way of sense perception, somatosensory modalities, or standard introspection. ################### ################### ######################## ck The basic tenet of today’s dominant faith, its zeitgeist, is that digital, programmable computers can, in the fullness of time, simulate anything, including human-level intelligence and consciousness. Computer experience is just a clever hack away. #################  ALL PETROL ##################### CK Consciousness is experience. That’s it. Consciousness is any experience, from the most mundane to the most exalted. Some add subjective or phenomenal to the definition. For my purposes, these adjectives are redundant. Some distinguish awareness from consciousness. For reasons I’ve given elsewhere, 1 I don’t find this distinction helpful and so I use these two words interchangeably. I also do not distinguish between feeling and experience, although in everyday use feeling is usually reserved for strong emotions, such as feeling angry or in love. As I use it, any feeling is an experience. Collectively taken, then, consciousness is lived reality. It is the feeling of life itself. It is the only bit of eternity to which I am entitled. Without experience, I would be a zombie, a nothing to myself. ############################### ################### ck The great strength of this commonsense definition—consciousness is experience—is that it is completely obvious. What could be simpler? Consciousness is the way the world appears and feels to me ################### A “The supreme truth is established by total silence, not logical discussion and argument. He alone sees the truth who sees the universe without the intervention of the mind, and therefore without the notion of a universe. #################### C Is consciousness created in the brain or does consciousness create the brain? This is the big question. As Ben Robinson has noted, people with brain damage appear to have impairments to consciousness. For example, there was a study where they applied an intense magnetic field to various areas of the brain, in one area effectively shutting down speech abilities. However, it is my feeling that, though consciousness is wedded to the brain and heart while in the physical body, whatever studies we do are only using material devices to study the physical organs, thereby arriving at conclusions related to the material body such as the brain. This is why there is a distinction between the terms mind and brain, the mind being the term for a broader field of perception that also includes the brain. For me, I feel there are far too many documented cases of people who maintain perception during near-death experiences or meditation. In these cases, people do have the ability to see and recall events happening outside the body. How can we measure such things? I think at this point we do not have the technology to really draw conclusions about the mystery of consciousness but it is wonderful that people are continuing to explore it through practices like meditation. ########################### #################### ##################### c Others, such as Daniel Dennett, argue vociferously that, although consciousness exists, there is nothing intrinsic or special about it. As he expressed it in an interview in the New York Times, “The elusive subjective conscious experience—the redness of red, the painfulness of pain—that philosophers call qualia?

Squeezed into seat 36F on a bumpy, two-hour flight after having had my morning cappuccino, I feel pressure building up in my bladder. By the time I get to a bathroom in the terminal, the urge to pee becomes almost unbearable 11—finally, I consciously feel the urine flowing, together with a mildly pleasurable sensation as the pressure is relieved. But beyond that, I can’t introspect further. I can’t decompose these sensations into more primitive atomic elements. I can’t get past the “veil of the Maya,” to adopt Hindu parlance. My introspective spade has hit impenetrable bedrock. 12 And I certainly never experience the synapses, neurons and the other stuff inside my skull that constitutes the physical substrate of any experience. That level is completely hidden to me. #################### ##################### ################# c consider a rare class of conscious states: mystical experiences common to many religious traditions, whether Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or Hindu. These are characterized as having no content: no sounds, no images, no bodily feelings, no memories, no fear, no desire, no ego, no distinction between the experiencer and the experience, the apprehender and the apprehended (nondual). The late-medieval Dominican monastic, philosopher, and mystic Meister Eckhart encountered the Godhead in a featureless plain, the essence of his soul: There is the silent “middle,” for no creature ever entered there and no image, nor has the soul there either activity or understanding, therefor she is not aware there of any image, whether of herself or of any other creature. 13 Using similar language, long-term practitioners of Buddhist meditation describe naked or sheer awareness: Unobscured like a cloudless sky, remain in lucid and intangible openness. Unmoving like the ocean free of waves, remain in complete ease, undistracted by thought. Unchanging and brilliant like a flame undisturbed by the wind, remain utterly clean and bright. 1 #################### ####################### a ###################### ######################## #######################
