I would like to very briefly go over general Buddhist
philosophy, in a simple but comprehensive manner.
Buddhist philosophy is enormous and to be quite clear
and thorough about it is very difficult, so I would like
to share with you the general outline of Buddhist
philosophy.

Discovering inner goodness only truly happens through meditation.
You can discover your inner goodness intellectually of course,
but it is just knowledge of what is possible.

Emptiness |
123 KB |
Emptiness makes everything possible. If it were not for emptiness, nothing would be
possible because everything would be fixed, solid. If everything is solid and fixed,
then nothing can change, nothing will happen, nothing will improve, nothing will get
worse.

Enlightenment |
115 KB |
Enlightenment is the most important subject for Buddhism, because
the purpose and intention of every action is enlightenment. In fact, for Buddhists,
attaining enlightenment is the purpose of life itself.

Pramana - August 2007 |
3365 KB |
I would like to go through Tsema, Pramana in Sanskrit. Pramana is translated as "dialectics", "cognitive signs", or "valid cognition".
It involves reasoning; in this
subject we do not give
superstition or simple, blind
belief any room. Instead we
dig into every aspect of the
subject, making sure the truth
is revealed, which means .valid
cognition. is a good
translation.

The Essence of Ones Heart |

Based on the topic concerning the nature of the mind, there are three particular
questions: 1) What does it mean to recognize the nature of mind? 2) How do we
experience the relative and absolute truth in everyday life? 3) How can we manage
to look through delusions and transform the related negative emotions which arise
from delusions?
