We finished our discussion today, December 28 , on Step Three of the Final Project for the Seminar on SAUMOL course. All participants used the ZOOM “Breakout Rooms” to discuss one or more of their selected passages from either the Preface and Introduction or the “Xiaman Oceanic Mind-Essence” with their partner for the event. Please check out the recent articles on the concept of debate in Tibetan Buddhism that the Buddha Master frequently praised and His Seven Dharma System for learning the Dharna if you want more background on what this class was all about. You can even read my notes from the original discourse the Buddha Master gave on this. There are many links to more information on this in these articles.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the breakout sessions and having an opportunity to present something from the course that was of special interest to them. A few were somewhat fearful of the process, but all went well. Since today’s effort was a somewhat artificial setup to enable us to experiment and test the process, it did not result in the probing and challenging of the level of understanding held by the participants that I believe can happen when there is only one presenter and one recipient of the presentation in each session. However, the dialogue and “safe” space enabled every one to become more comfortable with making Dharma presentations and sharing their personal experiences with the Dharma. I am hopeful that we can continue this process with other courses. The video for today’s session is listed below. Please note that the links below to the videos will only work if you are logged into LFBCS with your membership identification number AND are enrolled in this seminar. Also note that the videos have been edited and thus shortened and that you may speed them up and only listen to the parts you want to hear. Reba even shows you how to do just that in the first one on how to use the LFBCS software.
