predictions and free will
As you know, Buddha made predictions. Does it follow from this that there is no free will in Buddhism? After all, predictions and free will seem to be incompatible (mutually exclusive)!

Rupa
The rupa (form) in the so-called waking state and the rupa in the lucid dream state are the same rupa or is there no rupa at all in the lucid dream state?

Re: Atisha about Padmasambhava?
On the way, Atisha did not understand who Padmasambhava was, or, on the contrary, understood very well who he was and therefore ignored him deliberately. It is unlikely that Atisha was unaware of Padmasambhava. Atisha was at Samye and expressed astonishment at the number of Sanskrit Manuscripts hel...

Astro(nomy/logy)
Does Kalachakra Tantra clearly distinguish astronomy from astrology? (or are both called the same term and, therefore, do not differ in any way?)

Pan-dreamlike nature
Namely, the dreamlike nature of samsara "legalizes" the so-called "miracles" in Buddhism, for the content of a (karmic) dream has no rigid rules. "Miracles" are homogeneous to the essence of dreams. Therefore, I also do not see any problems with the fact that Mount Sume...

Re: One wisdom or three wisdoms?
Does listening generate thinking and thinking generate meditation? Or does listening generate wisdom through listening? Then what is this wisdom through listening?

Re: One wisdom or three wisdoms?

One wisdom or three wisdoms?
In the list, wisdom through hearing-wisdom through reflection-wisdom through meditation, does the word wisdom refer to the same wisdom (namely direct vision of 4TN = 4 Truths of the Noble) or is it three fundamentally different types of wisdom. Is it possible, based on the analysis of the Pali / San...

What is the name of the sutta?
Could you please tell me what is the name of the sutra in which the Buddha sorts 8 components of Eightfold Path of the Nobles into three groups (discipline, meditation and wisdom)?

Re: Tibetan and Mahayana and kshangabhanga of cittas and a self
Madhyamika does not deny kshanabhangavada, but only rejects the applicability of it at a deeper level of consideration. Just as quantum physics does not reject Newtonian, but only rejects its applicability at the level of elementary particles. Therefore, your mistake is to mix laws that work effecti...

Re: Satipathana in Mahayana
After the split on Mahayana and Theravada, has the practice of satipatthana (supplemented by the practice of bodhichitta origination) remained unchanged and basic yogic practice in Mahayana? Suppose the vipassana technique had not changed in any way. Then the question arises: how the use of the sam...

Re: How is it possible that Enlightened beings can have no siddhis but obscured beings can?
Siddhis are just the ability to act within a karmic dream with many options. Such abilities are just a consequence of accumulated good karma. The enlightened ones do not accumulate both new bad and good karma, but the old bad karma continues operating until parinirvana. The unenlightened may have a ...
