Reed Bye, the Founding VIsion of Naropa: 'Let East Meet west and the saprks Will Fly,"

Discriminating Wisdom:


Hearing:

listening and studying without with an attitude free of conceptual prejudice. what is being studied- try to receive with as an open mind as possible.


Contemplation:

refection upon what one is studying beyond an informational grasp and examining it in light of lived experience.]


Meditation:

practice in opening to nowness. immediate presentness.

meditation develops mindfulness beyond preoccupation with internal thinking and reaction.


Fem: wisdom awakens Masc. skillfulness


Double Edge Sword:

an important element of buddhist education tradition:

is the critical intelligence --> that can discriminate the thing of investigation and the one who is investigating.


Is sitting meditation necessary:


" i think that some kind of experience of sitting practice seems to be necessary. Which does not necessarily call for being a Buddhist, but some kind of meeting one's own mind and facing one's own face is necessary with any art."


Wisdom Lineage:


cutting through the delusions based in dualistic conceptions of self and other.


do you understand the words?

do you understand the meaning?


good heart and altruistic ( the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others ) aspiration
