In Memory of a Friend

"I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." -Jack London

I see what you are saying. I'd say that since our audience (CPB) is not an academic one, the points made are meant as useful for the intended purpose, and are not trying to imply or "chisel" away at some ultimate message. I think it's a bit too mu...

Edward Berge replied to Wayne (Ren Cheng deshi 仁诚弟子)'s discussion 'CPB Dharma Talk Aug 21: "Language in Pragmatic Buddhism"'on Friday

See my reply above. You did not use that specific phrase "direct, accurate perception of reality" in the talk. The phrase was from Clark's article, and I was making the point that it appeared you might be suggesting something similar with the lang...

Edward Berge replied to Wayne (Ren Cheng deshi 仁诚弟子)'s discussion 'CPB Dharma Talk Aug 21: "Language in Pragmatic Buddhism"'on Friday

I understand some (obviously not all) of the basic assumptions of CPB by reading a number of posts on the site, as well as a number of articles and book excerpts from members of the advisory board, e.g., Clark and Batchelor. So when I asked my que...

Hi Edward: Where did you read "direct, accurate perception of reality" in the dharma notes?

Jim Eubanks (Shi Yong Xiang)释迦永想 replied to Wayne (Ren Cheng deshi 仁诚弟子)'s discussion 'CPB Dharma Talk Aug 21: "Language in Pragmatic Buddhism"'on Friday

Hi Edward: First, you added a lot of fodder to support stances I agree with very much. I'd say it is important to enter all conversations on CPB:Ning with an appreciation for some basic assumptions CPB makes in its discourses, as highlighted on ou...

Edward Berge replied to Wayne (Ren Cheng deshi 仁诚弟子)'s discussion 'CPB Dharma Talk Aug 21: "Language in Pragmatic Buddhism"'on Thursday

That what is being discussed in the main dharma talk about the separation between experience and language might hint at this "direct, accurate perception of reality."

Meaghan - Xi Bao replied to Wayne (Ren Cheng deshi 仁诚弟子)'s discussion 'CPB Dharma Talk Aug 21: "Language in Pragmatic Buddhism"'on Thursday

All of this is interesting, as I noted earlier. What would be, if you had to boil it down, your main concern given what you've posted here? /\ xb
