ACI XIII - The Art of Reasoning with Eva Natanya
Is it possible to gain an
infallible perception of the reality in front of us? How can logical
reasoning transform the quality of our convictions? In this course we
will study a foundational Indian text on Buddhist logic, The Commentary on Valid Perception (Pramanavarttika), by Master Dharmakirti (630 AD), along with a Tibetan commentary by Purbuchok Jampa Tsultrim Gyatso (1825- 1901): The Key for Starting the Logic Machine (Rik-lam Trul-gyi De-mik).
We will examine the structure of Buddhist logic and the ancient forms
of debate. We will cover the correct motivation for debate; debating
tactics; the parts of a correct logical argument; how logic strengthens
faith; how studying logic leads to perceiving emptiness; contradictions
and relationships -- such as relationships of identity, or of cause and
effect; proving the absence of something; material causes and
contributing factors; valid perception; changing and unchanging things;
an outline of all existing things; the concept of time according to each
of the four schools of thought; and the reason why suffering has an end.

A GUDE TO THE
BODHISATTVA'S
WAY OF LIFE
{ PART 3 }
How
do we deal with all the suffering in the world? And how do we behave
in a loving and compassionate way to those around us when our mind is
upset and afflicted? Through love, caring and compassion-this is the
training of a Bodhisattva. This is the third course in a three part
series based upon A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life
(Bodhisattvacharya Avatara) by Master Shantideva (700 AD), and this
classic ancient work is considered the best book ever written to learn
to live as a bodhisattva.
In
part Three of The Guide, we delve deeply into the Perfection of Wisdom,
which is the culmination of the previous five perfections. Wisdom is
know by many names--suchness, emptiness, ultimate reality--and
experiencing it directly is the main point of Buddhism, leading to the
elimination of all pain and suffering and attainment of Nirvana and
Enlightenment. How do we do it? This Course explores ultimate reality,
illusion, wrong ideas we have about our existence, and how to
personally experience the highest, ultimate reality to end suffering.
John Stilwell
is a former director of the Asian Classics Institute (ACI), Godstow
Retreat Center, and was General Manger of Land of Medicine Buddha. He
is an executive and father who began teaching yoga 20 years ago, and has
taught Buddhist sutra and tantra in the tradition of Je Tsongkapa for
15 years with a contemporary perspective highly relevant to daily life.
John received transmission of the 18 Courses from Arya Sumati
Dharmadhara, Geshe Michael Roach.
