I agree with you: Who could imagine that modern day psychologists would have greater insight into the workings of the mind than generations of enlightened masters who learned to: "Turn around the light to shine within and then just return." - Shitou
Truth is Carl Jung rob his ideas from Buddhism. This is truth
I entered a zen monastery little over a month ago and am finishing your explanations helpful. Thank you
gachiBASS I have mistaken the arising of thoughts and feelings as my own, and I shall express them
This video is very nice for sitting in the "don't know mind" for a moment
Thanks for sharing! :)
IMHO, this video is good for your book
Thanks!
if there is a "storehouse of conciousness"
it is an open field
stretching to distant hills and mountains
not the enclosed walls
of an institution
One of the first books I read on Buddhism was called Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism by D.T. Suzuki and it talked about these kinds of theories. I thought that in order to practice Buddhism I would have to understand and remember all of it so it put me off Buddhism for a while. Later I learned that it wasn't all that important. But I agree that Buddhist theory of mind is way beyond modern psychology. And I do understand it better after repeated exposure to the ideas, which are quite interesting. By the way, I picked up a copy of Discovering The True Self by Kodo Sawaki at Green Apple Books yesterday. I noticed that they have a quote from you on the back cover.
Yay! The Kodo Sawaki book is out! They asked me for a blurb and I was happy to provide one.
Thank you for the references! I tried to google and couldn’t quite get the spellings correct. Many thanks!
I highly recommend this book. Inside Vasubandhu's Yogacara: A Practitioner's Guide by Ben Connelly (Author), Norman Fischer (Foreword)
Bodhidharma carried the Lankavatara Sutra hence assumed to be his favourite. Its the Sutra that clearly explains the yogachara in terms of its implications, beyond the abstract formulation. So I could safely say it should be the beginning and the end of the study of yogachara. This is about the nature of reality and existence so expect it to be radical (isnt the idea of enlightenment or ending samsara radical anyways?) In fact it could be thought as a buddhist analog to radical empiricism. Lankavatara Sutra is like the book in the neverending story in the way its communicating with the reader.
I just saw two brilliant dystopian science fiction films. One , from 2006, is "Idiocracy". The second, from October 2020, is "Totally Under Control".
They are essentially equivalent. Only problem is, the second is a
carefully researched documentary on the Trump administration response
to coronavirus. We are living a nightmare, and if this monster and his
enablers don't get defeated in 10 days, it doesn't matter that Buddha
ever lived, that Dogen wrote Shobogenzo, that Abraham Lincoln or
Nelson Mandela were born or or that Suzuki Roshi came to America.
All of which merely means that I have to sit now....thank you Brad for your efforts in the middle of all this molasses!
I don't like to pin my happiness on political outcomes. I think that's a recipe for misery.
alaya vijnana system? are you talking about gundam barbatos from mobile suit iron blooded orphans?
No its a concept in buddhism thats where the writers of IBO got it from.
Hey Brad thanks for the video, I guess I don't need to worry about it, of course I always get caught up trying to understand stuff.. What page in Wholehearted Way were you reading from? I have it, per your recommendation, haven't read it yet. But's on my "read next" pile. Thanks again man.

@@HardcoreZen Thanks sir, after reading along with you on the video I actually got a hint of understanding, that'll have to do for now. Thanks for the insight. I saw in a comment below that someone wants your take on Lojong, now I do as well.
@@borsdobhran3557 What is Lojong?
@@HardcoreZen Kortez described it well, it is I believe meant to strengthen and cultivate compassion, I have a limited understanding of it. but it's pretty heavy heady stuff as I understand it. It can be pretty intense, not for everyboday.
Thx for the video! 2 more books for the pile :)
I got a video suggestion. Since you're working on a book on Buddhist ethics, I would be interested in your take on core western ethic principles. Namely freedom, justice and equality. Happiness might also be a buzzword. How can these concepts be understood from a zen point of view? (I know. Hard to answer in 10 minutes.)
Keep it up!
It's an interesting question, but it's difficult to answer. The ancient Buddhists didn't really seem to think in terms of freedom, justice and equality, at least not in the ways we think of them in the US today. When the word "freedom" comes up in Buddhist literature, it doesn't mean personal liberty. It means freedom from craving. Justice and equality are even more difficult. Dogen was adamant that women were as able as men to understand and practice Buddhism. Buddhists from ancient times did not recognize caste (race) or class distinctions. In that sense they championed something we might call "equality." It's hard for me to think of any place in ancient Buddhism where anything equivalent to justice comes up. Maybe I can find something.
@@HardcoreZen according to some definitions, "justice" is, first of all, a lable for certain aspects of human affairs, which have been handled and defined in human history (over at least 6000 generations) in many different ways.
Some associations are: "fair; unbiased; just", "public, shared ways (of allocating/regulating/harmonizing diverse rights to..., demands for..., priviledges of..., or, in general, material and immaterial resources)".
Some think, the "right measures" for "measuring the rights" are naturally or even divinely given, some think, they are the result of a "social contract" (J.J. Rousseau ) , and so forth.
In Buddhism, it seems, ideas of "justice" hearken back to older semi-metaphysical concepts of Karma (--> chains of caus-effect, law of same-sense retribution, ...), which also became connected with some transcendentalist mysteries, which make up for the soteriological part of the whole enterprise. But the sheer mass of disputes over thousands of years also demonstrate that the whole "system" shows many disharmonies, inconsistencies, and contradictions, if thoroughly unpacked.
Early in Buddhism, there alread evolved a kind of two-worlds-doctrine, which differentiated between the Buddha Dharma and the secular Dharma and functioned as the formula for a kind of "historical compromise".
In Ruist societies, where Confucian standards dominated the morals-ethics of state and society, Buddhist communities formed a kind of sub-culture. This especially applies for the monastic sangha, which tended to isolate itself (sic!) from "worldly affairs", and which brought them---not totally unjustified, i.m.o.---criticism from the side of Christian creeds (and "derivates", like the Socialist movements) and led to the evolvement of more "positivistically" social-minded/orientated modernist Buddhist movements, like the Sôka-gakkai (?) in Japan, or the "Dà Ài" (?) association in Taiwan/ROC.
The famous "missionary" of Rinazi-Zen, D.T. Suzuki, unfolded-propagated in his writings the idea of a kind of Pan-Zenism with some overtones of nippon-ish "national Zen", which is not uninteresting, but also controversial.
All in all, Zen-moral-ethics seem to be, in reality, much more heteronomous than the dominant rhetorics of "oneness" and "simplicity" would suggest.
This, all together, forms a bit topic, indeed. Thank you for sharing.
@@gunterappoldt3037 Great points! Thank you!
@@HardcoreZen Thank you, too!
@@HardcoreZen thanks for answering my questions on your blog!
Thich Nhat Hanh wrote twice a book, kind of useful summary based in Yogacara. The first book tittle was called: “Transformation At The Base” and later on: “Understanding Our Mind”. I got during a long retreat with the Master as a homework to bring home the book blessed and signed by him: “Understanding Our Mind”. The book is very far of being a theoretical study of how consciousness work. It’s based in Buddhist Psychology. However, I won’t recommend it to non practitioners for the Master made sure not to give rise to intelectual mind. It’s a book to sit down with it after each chapter in order to allow to penetrate its content.
We are in a human body. It is very interesting to explore, discover this form of life we all are temporary part of. There are so many aspects unknown to us. Zen is only one. Then, there is also Yoga, Tai Chi, Ci Kong...all of them are moved by the same energy: Our conscious Breath!.

what does "shavlings" refer to? thanks
It's a word I saw in a translation of some old Buddhist text. I can only guess it refers to people who shave their heads (Buddhist monks). It's a strange word. I thought it was funny.
