Episode notes
Buddha's Meditative Trajectory
- Early texts suggest the Buddha practiced absorptions and developed recollection, divine eye and then realized nibbana.
- Emptiness practice appears as a progressive deconstruction from materiality to non-attention leading to liberation.
Four Stages Toward Emptiness
- The Shorter Discourse on Emptiness outlines stages: space, consciousness, nothingness, signlessness.
- These stages move from deconstructing perception to a non-attentive, non-fabricated mind enabling breakthrough.
Buddha's Letting Go Under The Tree
- Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche recounts the Buddha's long search and final letting go under the Bodhi tree.
- He reports the Buddha described the realization as beyond concept, luminous and peaceful, so he stayed in silence.
