SUMMARY:Buddhist and Western Concepts Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Gar Drolma for the continuing study group; Buddhist and Western Concepts Study Group.  The group will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.  \nThe discussions will include reflecting on Buddhist and Western philosophical thinking about the mind\, reviewing neurophysiological evidence concerning the body and mind\, and discussing recent theories and ideas from physics. We will provide web links each month that provide relevant background information on the topics to be discussed to make it easier for everyone to participate in the discussion. \nThe principal focus of the group is to attempt to reconcile Buddhist ideas and concepts about the body\, mind\, and universe with Western knowledge.  Discussion topics for the meetings are provided below.  \nWhat is a klesha?     \n\nPhoto Credit: Elephant Journal \nKleshas are mental states that cloud the mind and manifest as unwholesome thoughts and actions. Classical Buddhist kleshas include attachment\, aversion\, pride\, ignorance\, and jealously. Modern lists of kleshas can include additional states such as anxiety\, fear\, anger and depression. \nWe all know kleshas are something that we have to get rid of\, or overcome\, but how do they operate in our minds? Suppose kleshas are habitual patterns of thought\, or habitual ways or reacting to the world.  We seem to go through the day telling ourselves stories in which we interpret events in terms of our own beliefs and values. This may be the process through which kleshas act: Our interpretations generate thoughts that in turn produce habitual responses to the situations we encounter. \nWe also seem to consume music\, TV\, movies\, etc. that support our preferred stories and thought processes (see Eli Pariser “filter bubbles” link below).  Are we strengthening kleshas when we listen to “our” music\, or watch “our” TV shows?  If so\, advancing on the path might require cutting through these stories and transmuting the energy associated with them into mindful awareness.

In some Western psychological approaches\, the mind is perceived as consisting of complexes that are emotionally toned patterns of reactions centered around interconnected memories\, emotions\, perceptions\, and desires. These patterns are formed by an individual’s reactions to experiences. Complexes become active when situations are encountered that are similar to the situations that initially created the complex. Complexes manifest as habitual thought and behavioral patterns of activity. In this way\, they seem very similar to kleshas. \nIn the next meeting we will discuss kleshas and complexes. We will compare their similarities and differences\, and examine ways to overcome them. \n

Garchen Rinpoche.  Similar quotes can also be found in the sutras.  But what does this statement actually mean? \nDoes it mean that my mind and its perceptual/cognitive processes create the world that I see\, out of all possible worlds that I could see? That is\, would I see the world differently if I were embodied a different way (e.g.\, bees and bats have different perceptual apparatus and see frequencies of light that we cannot see)\, or would I see the world differently if I had different karma and lived in a different one of the six realms of being? Or alternatively\, is it possible that all of matter has another attribute that is awareness\, and the universe is a giant mind\, of which I am a part? \nPhoto Credit: MorgansLists \nThe dominant view of contemporary cognitive science is that consciousness emerges (almost magically) from a system once it reaches a certain level of complexity. There is a minority view\, however\, that argues that matter does have an attribute that is awareness (see panpsychism link below)\, and there are other views that suggest that consciousness is a property of living systems (as opposed to non-living systems).  We will discuss some of these alternatives.\n\nBackground Material:\n \n10 Examples of How Animals See  http://morgana249.blogspot.com/2014/07/10-examples-of-how-animals-see-images.html \nHow Animals See the World \nhttp://nautil.us/issue/11/light/how-animals-see-the-world \nSix Realms of Existence:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saṃsāra_(Buddhism) \nIs consciousness Universal? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-consciousness-universal/

We will provide web links each month that provide relevant background information on the topics to be discussed to make it easier for everyone to participate in the discussion. The principal focus of the group is to attempt to reconcile Buddhist ideas and concepts about the body\, mind\, and universe with Western knowledge.   \n\nTuesday Feb. 13\nEmptiness: East and West   \nIn the West the concept of emptiness is normally applied to physical space and usually means that there is nothing there (i.e.\, you can put things into it). If we apply the empty concept to forms we would say that the form is not solid\, it is a phantasm. There is nothing there. \nTo help concretize this idea\, when I was much younger\, I once heard a scientist say that all of the matter in the sun\, which comprises 1.4 x 1027 cubic meters of matter\, if compressed (i.e.\, if they squeezed out the empty space between atoms)\, would fit into a thimble. And that was before they discovered that the components of atoms (protons and neutrons) were mostly empty space; that is\, this was before they discovered quarks. Now\, all of the matter of the sun\, if compressed\, would probably fit on a pinhead.  So something that seems to have form can be mostly empty. \nOn the other hand\, modern physics postulates a field of energy/matter that extends throughout the universe from which matter arises (Economist link below).  From this perspective\, there is actually no space anywhere that is “empty”.  The empty space we perceive is actually matter/energy\, but of a type that allows other matter/energy to move in to that space (e.g.\, when you fill a glass with water\, you displace the air that pervaded the “empty” glass). \nIn Buddhism\, the concept of emptiness is normally applied to perception and cognition (rather than space). One tries to experience the world without invoking our normal\, automatic conceptualization of it.  That is\, one tries to experience the world empty of concepts.  The reason for this is that the perception of forms triggers the activation of concepts which in turn cause thoughts to arise\, and Buddhist believe that these thoughts prevent us from experiencing the true reality. \nA well-known Buddhist technique for studying emptiness is to contemplate the sameness of objects and space by reciting the sayings from the Heart Sutra: “Form is emptiness and emptiness is form”.  When we look at the world we see solid things and “empty” space. The Heart sutra suggests that we try to see the empty space as a form\, to elevate it to the same level of perception as the objects/forms that we naturally perceive. Buddhist teachings maintain that this can change our perspective on reality and enable us to experience more awareness (shunyata or rigpa). \nBuddhists also believe in something similar to the Western physicist’s field. Buddhists believe in relative and absolute truths. Relative truth is the world we perceive of form and emptiness.  It is the world of separate objects with space between them. Absolute truth is mostly an unknown\, although it is said to pervade all of reality and transcend limitations of existence or non-existence. It is a state beyond duality and intellectual understanding.  Subjectively\, it is described as being primordially pure intrinsic radiant awareness \nSo why do we pay attention to forms? From a Western perspective\, we attend to objects that afford us opportunities. Over evolutionary time our senses have become focused on making us aware of objects that can help us or hinder us in our goals. \nIn contrast\, the Buddhists say you should attempt to look at events occurring in the senses and mind with no consideration of whether there’s anything real behind them (first link below). You just perceive. This loosens the role of automatic cognitive processes\, and can eventually lead to an experience of the absolute reality. \nIn this meeting we will discuss the two concepts of emptiness\, explore the possibility of viewing percepts without activating concepts\, consider the idea of a universal ground\, and discuss how a change in cognition could potentially dramatically change our view of reality. \nReference Material:\nEastern Emptiness \nhttps://tricycle.org/magazine/what-do-buddhists-mean-when-they-talk-about-emptiness/ \nhttps://www.huffingtonpost.com/lewis-richmond/emptiness-most-misunderstood-word-in-buddhism_b_2769189.html \nWestern Emptiness \nEconomist.  (2015).  What is the universe made of?  http://www.economist.com/sciencebriefs

We will provide web links each month that provide relevant background information on the topics to be discussed to make it easier for everyone to participate in the discussion. \nThe principal focus of the group is to attempt to reconcile Buddhist ideas and concepts about the body\, mind\, and universe with Western knowledge.  The Discussion Topic for the meeting is provided below.  If you would like to participate but cannot attend at Gar Drolma please consider participating via Skype at: mike-young-skype \nTuesday\, January 9\, 2018 : DREAMS\nDo you dream?  Actually\, everyone dreams\, although approximately only half of all individuals asked say they can remember their dreams.  Why do we dream? A popular Western scientific belief is that we dream to consolidate memory traces from the previous day.  The hippocampus generates synchronized firings of neuronal ensembles that strengthen connections among them\, resulting in the laying down of memories.   \n An alternative Western idea is that dreams embody meaning\, and that they are sent to us in our sleep. But by whom? In the analytic depth psychology of Carl Jung\, there are different types dreams: random dreams\, subjective dreams\, and objective dreams.  Random dreams are a collection of events from the last couple of days and do not convey any meaning (like the scientific model above).  Subjective dreams have a structure and message that conveys meaning about the dreamer’s personal situation. Elements of the dream relate to individuals and places the dreamer knows.  The dream\, if understood\, provides insight into a personal relationship or problem.  In contrast\, objective dreams seem to address issues that a society is facing as it adapts to a changing environment (e.g.\, women moving into the workforce in mass in the 60s-70s which required learning new gender roles and adjusting the care of children). One might say that societal dreams deal with our collective karma.  \n In talking to Tibetan Buddhists they seem to have a different dream taxonomy.  They say there are dreams that relate to an individual (similar to Jung’s subjective dream)\, and societal dreams (similar to objective dreams).  This latter type of dreams\, however\, is normally associated with oracles who have had special training to make them ready to receive and understand such dreams. In addition\, Tibetans discuss how meditation practice during the day can influence a practitioner’s dreams at night.  Specifically\, if the practice went well you might see auspicious signs in your dreams (which should be ignored).  \n Random and subjective dreams probably arise from an individual’s mind.  But where do societal dreams come from?  Jung postulates the existence of a collective unconscious that we all connect to in the deeper layers of our mind.  More specifically\, Jung proposes that the collective unconscious contains archetypes that could be thought of as programs built up over evolutionary time that contribute to\, or guide\, our adaptation to the changing world.  \n What about the Tibetans\, do they have anything similar to archetypes?  They\, of course\, have deities that can influence individuals.  It is not clear where these deities reside physically\, but they seem to play a similar role to Jung’s archetypes. Interestingly these deities are linked to specific types of meditation practice called deity yoga.  What is interesting about this practice is that in the beginning the deity is external to the practitioner but over time the practitioner becomes the deity.  This has some similarity to the Jungian concept of individuation\, where a patient can identify with the archetype and use it to produce adaptation of an attitude which leads to a more fuller sense of self. \n In this session we will look at how dreams are thought of in Western and Buddhist societies.  We will consider how dreams arise\, the purpose of dreams\, the process through which dreams influence behavior\, and the role archetypes/deities play in influencing individuation/spiritual growth via dreams.  Next month we will likely stay with the topic of dreams and look at the Buddhist practice of dream yoga and the Western concept of lucid dreaming. \nBackground material: \nArchetypes:  \nhttps://www.psychologistworld.com/cognitive/carl-jung-analytical-psychology \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes \nhttp://www.carl-jung.net/archetypes.html \nTibetan Deities: \nhttp://www.khandro.net/deities.htm \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_deities \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrathful_deities

SUMMARY:Guided Discussion on What Makes You Not A Buddhist
DESCRIPTION:So you think you’re a Buddhist?

SUMMARY:Buddhist and Western Concept Study Group
DESCRIPTION:1st Friday of each month. We are on break and will continue our study group March 3\, 2017. \nThe discussions will include reflecting on Buddhist and Western philosophical thinking about the mind\, reviewing neurophysiological evidence concerning the body and mind\, and discussing recent theories and ideas from physics. \nWe will provide web links each month that provide relevant background information on the topics to be discussed to make it easier for anyone to participate in the discussion. \nThe principal focus of the group is to attempt to reconcile Buddhist ideas and concepts about the body\, mind\, and universe with Western knowledge.
