What Else Is New at Learning from Buddha College and Seminary (LFBCS), July 15, 2023?

We finished Lesson 4 on the Intermediate Stage or the Path of Renunciation on July 15 with a discussion of what it means to become accomplished; why the three disciplines of precept observance, dhyana, and wisdom are inseparable; the differences between the mundane and supra-mundane Dharmas (see quote); the sources of “mind,” as well as other topics. We ended considering the Buddha Master’s explanation that the source of mind “refers to mind being original nature. Therefore, mind and original nature are inherently one entity.”

I am planning on starting a solitary retreat August 1 through September 11 and will not be posting any more blogs or reachable until after that.
