Discussions on Space from last nights class

July 24, 2008

For those of you who participated in a discussion on compounded and uncompounded space after the philosophy class last night. I found the reference to my comment that compounded space is an object of eye consciousness. It can be found on page 233 of Meditations on Emptiness by J Hopkins.

Space appears both to an eye consciousness and a mental consciousness and thus the bluish space that appears to an eye consciousness is a visible form whereas the space that appears to a mental consciousness is form a mental consciousness.

I think there is still some room for further discussions on the ontology of uncompunded space.

Hello My Friends Its Me Again

July 23, 2008

Hello everyone I’m back! I know it has been a while and although I do have a excuse I wont bore you with it.

I have been working on a couple of new projects, one which might be useful to the online buddhist community. So with that in mind I have a poll that I would like as many of you as possible to respond to PLEASE.

Only about 10% of the people who will read this will probably respond PLEASE be one of them :)

Next week I will be going to Ballarat Grammar for a week of lectures and stuff…that is a technical term for hanging out and talking about Buddhism. So although I’m back on-board it won’t be long.
I still have a number of articles in the pipeline…so please be patient with this lazy monk.
oh and if you are reading this as an email, you may need to go to the website in order to fill out the poll. There should be a link just under this, click on it and you will be taken to the website.
