    These notes were taken by a student in class, and should be used for reference only. Please check them against the audio for accuracy of content. CLASS NOTES Course XIV: Lojong, Developing the Good Heart Class One: Eight Verses of Diamond Lion, Part One LO JONG Means Developing the Good Heart LO JONG Mental Training,orDeveloping the Good Heart. Jong can mean “to mind training make pure,” as in jong-chub (Buddha); or to “practice something” like football. Developing a good heart suggests a kind of radical behavior modification. It is meant to be used at work, with your family and in your life all day long. It is a major change in how you relate with other people, and it’s much more difficult than Buddhist logic and philosophy. It’s like a feeling of being in an airplane with others and the plane is going to crash and you all know that you’re in it together. The people all around us are suffering and dying. You’re going to lose everyone you love and everything you ever worked for. You have to jong this feeling – to practice or develop the feeling all daylong of loving other people around you who are dying and losing all the good things they have. Yet we waste our time struggling to get things we want for ourselves that we will lose anyway. There is no point to this selfish approach you have to life. You have to change your heart. Why not be good to each other? It takes a lot of practice.

  • Inner Mongolia
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: CHN30730 Country: China Date: 13 October 2006 Keywords: CHN30730 – Tibetan Buddhism – Government Treatment – Inner Mongolia This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Please provide some background information on this Huang Jiao group. 2. Please provide information on the Chinese government’s treatment of this group, especially in Mongolia. RESPONSE 1. Please provide some background information on this Huang Jiao group. The file indicates that the applicant is from Tongliao, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The applicant claims to practice a religion from Tibet similar to Buddhism. According to the US Department of State, most ethnic Mongolians practice Tibetan Buddhism (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report 2006 – China, 15 September, Section 1 – Attachment 1). Huang Jiao means yellow religion in Chinese. One reference to huang jiao was found amongst the sources consulted. The article published in The Drama Review in 1989 reports that huang jiao is the yellow sect of Tibetan Buddhism (Liuyi, Qu et al 1989, ‘The Yi: Human Evolution Theatre’, The Drama Review, Vol 33, No 3, Autumn, p.105 – Attachment 2). The yellow sect of Tibetan Buddhism is more commonly known as Gelug but is also known as Geluk, Gelugpa, Gelukpa, Gelug pa, Geluk pa and the Yellow Hat sect.

    I AN iNTRODUCTION TO MUSIC TO DELIGHT ALL THE SAGES, THE MEDICAL HISTORY OF DRAKKAR TASO TRULKU CHOKYI WANGCRUK (1775-1837)’ STACEY VAN VLEET, Columbia University On the auspicious occasion of theft 50th anniversary celebration, the Dharamsala Men-tsee-khang published a previously unavailable manuscript entitled A Briefly Stated framework ofInstructions for the Glorious field of Medicine: Music to Delight All the Sages.2 Part of the genre associated with polemics on the origin and development of medicine (khog ‘bubs or khog ‘bugs), this text — hereafter referred to as Music to Delight All the Sages — was written between 1816-17 in Kyirong by Drakkar Taso Truilcu Chokyi Wangchuk (1775-1837). Since available medical history texts are rare, this one represents a new source of great interest documenting the dynamism of Tibetan medicine between the 1 $th and early 19th centuries, a lesser-known period in the history of medicine in Tibet. Music to Delight All the Sages presents a historical argument concerned with reconciling the author’s various received medical lineages and traditions.

  • The Quantum Truth of the Buddhist Metaphysics of the 'Two Truths'
    Scientific GOD Journal | December 2011 | Vol. 2 | Issue 10 | pp. 1047-1073 1047 Smetham, G. P., The Quantum Truth of the Buddhist Metaphysics of the ‘Two Truths’ or ‘Two Realities’ Article The Quantum Truth of the Buddhist Metaphysics of the ‘Two Truths’ or ‘Two Realities’ Graham P. Smetham* * Correspondence: Graham Smetham, http://www.quantumbuddhism.com E-mail:[email protected] ISSN: 2153-831X Scientific GOD Journal www.SciGOD.com Published by Scientific GOD, Inc. Scientific GOD Journal | December 2011 | Vol. 2 | Issue 10 | pp. 1047-1073 1048 Smetham, G. P., The Quantum Truth of the Buddhist Metaphysics of the ‘Two Truths’ or ‘Two Realities’ Abstract According to the ‘Buddhist’ writer Stephen Batchelor the core Buddhist doctrine of the ‘two truths’ or ‘two realities’ is a major mistake on the part of Buddhist practitioners and philosophers throughout the ages. Although this doctrine has been central to Buddhist thinking since the time of the Buddha, Batchelor says that it is a serious mistake, and is completely unscientific. This article show that it is Batchelor who is desperately mistaken because modern quantum theory has validated the metaphysical claim that the ‘classical’ or ‘conventional’ world is an illusion which is derived from the deeper quantum realm. Thus the division into the ‘classical’ realm and the ‘quantum’ realm maps onto the Buddhist distinction between the ‘conventional’ mode of reality and the ‘ultimate’ mode of reality. Far from Buddhist philosophy being ‘unscientific’, it is Batchelor who displays ignorance of modern science. Keywords: Two truths, two realities, quantum-classical divide, Buddhist philosophy, Madhyamaka, Emptiness, Stephen Batchelor. There seems to be a growing enthusiasm amongst a section of Western Buddhist practition- ers for forging a more secular, modern and, in their eyes, more scientifically ‘correct’ form of Buddhism which purges the traditional forms of what is considered to be unscientific meta- physical beliefs such as karma and rebirth.

Boston College The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Department of Theology DRIVE ALL BLAMES INTO ONE: RHETORICS OF ‘SELF-BLAME’ AND REFUGE IN TIBETAN BUDDHIST LOJONG, NIETZSCHE, AND THE DESERT FATHERS a dissertation by GLENN ROBERT WILLIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2014 © copyright by GLENN ROBERT WILLIS 2014 Abstract Drive All Blames into One: Rhetorics of ‘Self-Blame’ and Refuge in Tibetan Buddhist Lojong, Nietzsche, and the Desert Fathers Glenn Robert Willis Professor John Makransky, Dissertation Director The purpose of this work is to differentiate the autonomous ‘self-compassion’ of therapeutic modernist Buddhism from pre-therapeutic Mahāyāna Buddhist practices of refuge, so that refuge itself is not obscured as a fundamental Buddhist orientation that empowers the possibility of compassion for self and other in the first place. The work begins by situating issues of shame and self-aversion sociologically, in order to understand how and why self-aversion became a significant topic of concern during the final quarter of the twentieth century. This discussion allows for a further investigation of shame as it has been addressed first by psychologists, for whom shame is often understood as a form of isolating self-aversion, and then by philosophers such as Bernard Williams and Emmanuel Levinas, for whom shame attunes the person to the moral expectations of a community, and therefore to ethical commands that arise from beyond the individual self.

  • Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Training in Tenderness Week One: “Accessing Our Innate Tender Heart” August 6, 2018
    Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Training in Tenderness Week One: “Accessing Our Innate Tender Heart” August 6, 2018 Good morning everybody. This video series is going to be on tsewa [tenderness of heart] and ​ ​ there will be four talks. This talk is about how we all have an innate tender heart and how we can access it. That tender heart is the source of all happiness in our human society. Even in the animal realm, animals are still joined together by their relations, by the structure of the animal family life. You can see this with elephants or any other species of animals. First, I wanted to give a little bit of background. All human beings wish to be happy and we are always trying to cultivate the means to be happy. We all wish to be free from suffering, and we are always trying to get rid of the conditions of suffering. That binds us all as one human race and makes our lives very much equal. In that sense, we all have a tenderness towards ourselves and our loved ones. There is a sense of something underneath or beyond all of the external conditions of who we are and how we are brought up—what culture we belong to, what race we are, whether we have the means of happiness and wealth, or any other status. Inside we are identical, and when we not only believe that but really feel it in our heart towards other living beings, that opens up our heart to others. However, there isn't always an aspiration in one's own mind to be happy and to cultivate the conditions of happiness.
