    Whoa, goldmine! Have you listened to any of this? Certain other lectures series on Madhamaka have proved underwhelming.

    I've listened to this several years ago. Intend on listening again. Right now I'm listening to his lectures on Dharmakirti. Highly recommended!

    André, where are the Dharmakirti lectures? I've managed to put off any deep study of Pramana, but lectures by a teacher of this calibre might be what changes this.

    Scroll down until you find it. Westerhoff's lectures in there are also good.

Soh: Thanks.. u listened to them? Is it good?

John Tan: Yes and still listening.  Very very good. Very quality teachings.

Go listen

[2:19 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: U must listen to the series of teachings by John dunne.  All of anatta are in it.  I m just overwhelmed.

Soh: Oic.. wow
Andre:

In here, you'll find John Dunne's lectures on Dharmakirti, namely on reflexive awareness. Some very interesting non-dual pointers and insights.
[6:07 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: 👍
[10:13 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: Part 4-5A series explanations are a bit incongruent

Soh:
why incongruent? i haven't got there yet
still on the first part lol

[10:45 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: Incongruent in his explanation on a few things including cause and effect


Soh:
ic..
should i add this to the sidebar in AtR blog? haha
'Stickied Posts'
[10:59 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: First 3 series is good
[10:59 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: I don't think so
[11:00 pm, 06/12/2021] John Tan: But it is worthwhile u make some notes

[6:06 am, 07/12/2021] John Tan: Andre send me a link to John dunne short notes.  I think it will be good to have ATR a link on all of John dune work.
[8:39 am, 07/12/2021] John Tan: Part 6 onwards is good.  It's abt anatta and non-dual.
[8:45 am, 07/12/2021] John Tan: In part 7, he talks about anatta is already is as an anatta insight.
[8:46 am, 07/12/2021] John Tan: Yes [to adding this into the sidebar in AtR blog]
[8:50 am, 07/12/2021] John Tan: Part 7, he is also talking about awareness as presentation rather than representation. 👍
Soh: Ok then i add it to sidebar


John Tan: Have u listened to John dunne?

Part 8 is abt total exertion, integration of the conventional and emptiness. Self sprung compassion without the sense of subject and object yet integrating the conventional.  The object continues whereas the structure(dual structure) collapsed.  However in part 7, he also mentioned he doesn't quite understand this 3rd level of compassion which is interesting.


Soh: Still on the first one.. halfway. He is v clear on anatta


John Tan: It is truly good except part 4a-4b and the beginning and mid of part 5 where I find there is incongruence in view when explaining how the various tools of ultimate analysis like "sameness and difference", 7-reasonings and "one and many" analysis can collapse the structure.  His understanding is pretty similar to Tsongkhapa understanding although he is a student of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche which is more Kagyu and Nyingma.

In other words, everything thing about the 7 phases of insights are discussed. U should go through all until the end.

Part 6 onwards is abt anatta and non-dual as an experience and insight.

I will be going into his Dharmakirti lectures posted by Andre in the FB later since wisdom experience support hasn't resolved my email typo error issue yet.

Btw he said Dharmakirti called it "mere reflexive awareness".

Empty luminosity


No wonder I find so much the voice of Tsongkhapa in his teachings... haha.👍

Although he mentioned nothing about Tsongkhapa...🤣🤣🤣



Soh:This is a text by john dunne?
John Tan: Yes
[1:58 pm, 07/12/2021] John Tan: His book on foundation of Dharmakirti philosophy
[2:00 pm, 07/12/2021] John Tan: Tell him [Mr JKB who recently realised anatta] to go through all the series of John dune

Tangerine

 


Friends

“Each time you look at a tangerine, you can see deeply into it. You can see everything in the universe in one tangerine. When you peel it and smell it, it’s wonderful. You can take your time eating a tangerine and be very happy.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

"To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour”

    Kyle Dixon told me Zen teacher Meido Moore Roshi is very clear about the view based on a teaching he attended.
    Also, Kyle:
    Meido Moore Roshi, who has posted here in the past is very clear on the view, and though I’m not clairvoyant, and he is very modest, his presentation and understanding of the path are indicative of someone with some degree of genuine insight or realization.
    Certainly a reliable resource as far as Zen goes.
    ……
    Soh: Also a piece of info for everyone:
    Meido Moore is the admin of Rinzai Zen Discussion group. Anyone interested should join.

      I've gotten a lot out of Meido Roshi's offerings, and am just impressed with him generally on many levels. He teaches a very complete path. As for "clear about the view" in the AtR sense, the various deepening of awakening seems to be dealt with in the context of koan training, which is not talked about openly. In particular, I've never seen him express a substantialist understanding of nonduality or a nonsubstantialist understanding, because espousing a precise philosophical view is just not how his lineages goes about things.
