Meaning of the Medicine Buddha Mantra 1. OM: we begin with Om, the under-current tone of the universe 2. NAMO: means yielding or full of trust; can also mean to bend or bow, and might mean to melt into 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. (my prayer shall go to the highest and the widest and the deepest) 17. Explanation of the meaning of the Mantra Bekandze means eliminating pain, maha bekandze means great eliminating of pain. The second bekandze eliminates all the true cause of suffering, which is not external but within the mind. Scientists claim that intense exposure to the sun causes skin cancer. For example, not everyone who sunbathes on the beach gets skin cancer. If someone has created the cause, as long as they do not do anything to purify it, the cause will definitely bring its own result; just as a seed that is planted will definitely result in a sprout as long as it is not eaten by birds, and so forth. The Medicine Buddha mantra actually contains the remedy of the whole graduated path to enlightenment.

The Buddha and the Middle Way | Middle Way Society Buddhist tradition often in theory recognises the universality of the Middle Way, but in practice all the emphasis lies on the particular accounts of the Middle Way given by the Buddha and his followers in the Buddhist tradition. If you start talking about the Middle Way in general, they may say “Ah, but is that the Buddha’s Middle Way?”, as though it was the Buddha that made the Middle Way helpful, rather than the other way round. If you believe that the Buddha’s enlightenment gave him special insight into reality and thus special authority, this produces a metaphysical belief that is in conflict with the Middle Way. It is for this reason that the Society wants to make a clear break with any authority from the Buddhist tradition, and thus we do not give prominence to the Buddha in introducing the Middle Way. Nevertheless, the Buddha should still be credited with offering the most important early source of the Middle Way. The Buddha’s Life Story The Buddha’s ‘Silence’ The Kalama Sutta

Buddhism now What Buddhists Believe - The Noble Eightfold Path - The Middle Way This is the Path for leading a religious life without going to extremes. An outstanding aspect of the Buddha's Teaching is the adoption of the Eightfold Path is the Middle Path. The Buddha advised His followers to follow this Path so as to avoid the extremes of sensual pleasures and self-mortification. The Middle Path is a planned course of inward culture and progress. Every Buddhist is encouraged to mould his life according to the Noble Eightfold Path as taught by the Buddha. The Eightfold Path can be compared to a road map. Gradual Development With His infinite wisdom, the Buddha knew that not all humans have the same ability to reach spiritual maturity at once. Righteous Life The Eightfold path consists of the following eight factors: What is Right Understanding? When a person has Right Understanding, he or she develops Right Thought as well. There are three aspects to Right Thought. Right Understanding and Right Thought, which are Wisdom factors, will lead to good, moral conduct.

Concept & Reality 1.4—Apophatic Periphraxis | The Dharmasar Solution Apophatic Periphraxis: Nibbāna the Inexpressible Please see the full documentation Apophasis means talking about a subject that remains tacit, unspoken.Periphraxis refers to circumlocution, indirection or euphemism.An example of apophasis is the KITE essay.An example of periphaxis is a woman complaining that she ‘doesn’t have anything to wear,’ when her real concern is that her wardrobe makes her look fat. Another example of both apophasis and periphraxis is this series: if you haven’t watched our previous videos, especially Matrix Learning, Apophatic Antifragility and the previous videos in this series, much of what we say here won’t make sense. That is because this video treats that material as apophatic, and you lack the required background and context. Similarly, discussions of the Buddha’s teaching also will not make much sense unless you read, study and practice the Theravāda Suttas, which are themselves apophatic with regard to nibbāna.

Welcome to the International Dunhuang Project Thinking in Buddhism All chapters Notes: The most readable version of this thesis is the nicely-formatted PDF (created by Christopher Richardson in 2001). The 1994 original was written in the TEX publishing code, which did not allow for easy conversion to html. Some characters are missing. While I stripped 99% of the internal TEX formatting codes, some still remain, and the footnotes are in the body of the text. This thesis was, in print, 175 pages. Preface Any research into a school of thought whose texts are in a foreign language encounters certain difficulties in deciding which words to translate and which ones to leave in the original. Finally, two processing errors must be explained. "Misery only doth exist, none miserable, No doer is there; naught save the deed is found. Chapter 1 Introduction The study of Buddhism has in recent years become quite a vogue in the West. The form of Buddhism that has most captured the attention of the West, especially America, is Japan's Zen. Note: Cf. Chapter 2

The Tibetan Book of the Dead An Expanded View Originally written June 1970 Edited November 2000 Redited March 2009 Introduction The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a most unusual book in the annals of recorded thought. This Tibetan Buddhist sect holds that the purpose of existence is to escape life on this plane. Like many religious texts, the Tibetan Book of the Dead has an esoteric as well as a literal meaning. Bardo Thodol: Liberation by Hearing on the After Death Plane Bardo Thodol, which means ‘Liberation by hearing on the After Death Plane’, is the Tibetan name for the Book of the Dead. The underlying assumption behind the book is that Being continually goes thru the cycle of Birth, Life, Death, After Death Plane or Bardo, and then Rebirth, Life, Death, Bardo, Rebirth, … over and over again. Book of the Dead addresses Ego Death, as well as Physical Death Timothy Leary writes a book called The Psychedelic Experience in which he uses the Bardo Thodol to guide a psychedelic drug experience.
