Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
If all you have is madhyamika, I think the tendency is to be run into an emptiness pit. You have to return to the middle and allow for conventions, tentatively recognize dharmas, knowing their dependently arisen nature. I understand that Madhyamaka means "middle." In general, it is the mi...

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
I understand that Madhyamaka means "middle" already.

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
Which leads me to wonder...what is beyond mere Madhyamaka?

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
To my limited understanding, Madhyamaka does indeed disabuse one of bias.

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
Curious also: are you positing a fourth? For the record I couldn't find "Buddhayana" in the index of the paper you linked to. Yes, he is. This thread should really be split into a thread called Ekayāna: controversies and continuities. Not positing a fourth. The three are upaya - the Buddh...

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
The Buddhayana is inconceivable to anyone within the three vehicles, even the bodhisattvayana. Curious also: are you positing a fourth? For the record I couldn't find "Buddhayana" in the index of the paper you linked to. Buddhayana is referred to as Sudden and Complete/Perfect/Round. I fe...

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
Ekayana in the Lotus means that even when the Buddha teaches the the three vehicles he is actually teaching the one Buddhayana. Those on the sravakayana are taught arhatship and are aiming for arhatship; pratyekabuddhayana are aiming for pratyekabuddhahood; bodhisattvayana are taught a particular i...

Re: Monastic Tibetan Buddhists Fear Death More
I think I follow: that the three would not be treading the path of Buddhayana without the Buddha? Just wanted to double check. With the ekayana perspective can the three paths arise without the Buddha? (Maybe the hang-up is that I'm just trying to understand the subject better. I'm not arguing.) Ri...
