Madhyamika - 13 – Verses 105 – 110
13th Lecture: Close Mindfulness of Phenomena
Verses 105 – 110
Naropa Institute, Boulder, Colorado
Summary
The Fourth Mindfulness, mindfulness of all phenomena.
All phenomena have no origin, no end; not nothing, not everlasting; do not come, do not go; not several, not one. Karma is also a concept and therefore included. Three refutations: this contradicts the two truths; if there is no “know-er” or “knowing” how can you analyse; the analysis must also be analysed. When the mind stops, the Kayas manifest. Value of study v. practice.
Q & A: How can correcting our view affect our karma? How can Buddhism best develop within the American culture? The “non-existence” of cause and effect.
