So come in on Skype and share ideas on modern Living
THe main skype theme is Complete Enlightenment and Modern Living -
Just to share with everyone what is tientai 1 mind ,3 views (contemplation)
the 3 views is Emptiness,Virtual and Conditioned Existence(fakly rea ) and
Madhyamika (Middle View)
ChenW33: this is a wisdom aspect as master like Tientai Zhizhe expounded throughout his life
with this 3 view.One understand the Buddha teaching like the noon sun
bright and unshadowed from the extreme of indulgence or unfettered by unreal emotions
More on Middle View: Middle View is the view which all sentient beings adopt in order to follow the practise of the Bodhisattva ,especially the Mahasattva
Mahasiddhi(Great Attainer) took on the Madhyamika line of thought in order to
achieve Great Awareness like
Naropa, Gampopa ,Atisha ,Devadatta
and many tibetan master
In china ,tientai Chizhe and Huayan School Xianshou achieve high state of samadhi with the understanding of the middle view
The underlying ideas of Middle View is there is no middle ,no extreme
but completely break free from both pessimistic idea (negative emptiness and negative virtual existence)
negative virtual existence is the state where bodhisattva fear the samsaric existence and refuse to go back to saha world to help sentient beings
negative emptiness is when bodhisattva sees the non-vital contribution of one
in savings sentient beings (due to Good understanding of Dependent Origination ) and pessimistically stay in state of emptiness ,refuse to cultivate Great Wisdom to save all sentient beings
Without Great Wisdom and Compassion ,the practice toward Buddhahood is incomplete .
Great Compassion must be a serious and sincere wish to save all sentient beings out of Samsara .
Milarepa evoke his Compassion when he sees a sick dog on the road. -
