What Else Is New at Learning from Buddha College and Seminary (LFBCS), February 12, 2023 

Yesterday we discussed the middle-view state and how to avoid the “two frightening extremes” of existence and non-existence. We also considered what the rainbow body was and how to achieve it and other topics.

Next Saturday, February 18 at 9:00 am, we should finish DCB21-Lesson 4 of the courses on Imparting the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra, continuing our study of the three types of prajna with the third type: intrinsic-reality prajna. We will also discuss the difference between an insane and an enlightened person and, if we are able to start Lesson 5, the difference between ordinary and holy beings and other topics.

Two other articles are included in this BLOG from LFBCS. They are on the “Nine Stages of Sthiti or Mental Abiding” and “The Five Obstacles and Their Antidotes to Achieving Mental Abiding” and are part of “Lesson Two: The Preliminaries” from course C41-Three Principal Stages & Paths of Buddhist Practice. The chart outlining the components of this course has also been revised. CLICK for the revision. The homework and assignments for this course are under development, but should be ready for a series of on-line classes that will begin when DCB21, the current series on the Title of Imparting the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra, is finished. We plan on continuing the study of the actual text of Imparting the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra following the classes on C41.
