We will continue our study of the “128 Evil and Erroneous Views Concerning Emptiness” from the Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation (SAUMOL) on Sunday, March 14, 2021 starting at 2:00 pm PDT (NOTE: this will be Pacific Daylight Time.). This session will be on the views related to “Emptiness” and the last in our study of these SAUMOL views. The Buddha Master has said that you will not become enlightened in this lifetime if you hold any of these views. They should be used to evaluate all Buddhist masters, rinpoches, and dharma kings as well as any Buddhist texts or translations of texts, commentaries, or sutras. However, they should mostly be used to evaluate your own mind, speech, and behavior.
CLICK to register for a continuation of an on-line Buddhist class on cultivation using the “128 Evil and Erroneous Views” from the Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation (SAUMOL). Everyone will need to register for the this class, if you have not already done so. You should be able to use the link from last week.
This series will finish our study of all 128 views with one erroneous and five evil views related to “Emptiness.” We will also decide what to do next and how to treat these 128 Views in our monthly practice of the SAUMOL now that we can listen to it at our Sunday service. CLICK for the brief discourses that the Buddha Master gave on each of these views. We not only covered the views related to “Holy Manifestations & Supernormal Powers” but we were also able to cover several views related to initiations and even one on predictions. If you missed this class you might want to go back to the last blog and review the views that were intended for March 7 and March 14.
