@hjh I need to know what school of buddhism you adhere to >.< madhyamaka or tathagatagarbha? enlightenment in this lifetime, rebirth in a pure land or bodhisattva path? thoughts on the nature of mind and of the ground? mudras, mantas, mandalas? definition of dharmakaya?
also hi I'm georgia :))

@georgia If this wasn't text I would reply with silence and a smile, depending on if i think you needed it I may even give you a wink and after awhile say "come on let's go" and like from there whatever happens next
But since this is text the three texts that have meant the most to me are The Flower Adornment Sutra, Sutra of the Fundamental Vows of the Bodhisattva Kṣitigarbha, and the Vimalakīrti Nirdeśa Sutra. I think i know far less about Tibetan Buddhism than you do. I'm also not a Nomenclator so whatever definition of dharmakaya you have you should take instead.
Mudras, mantas, mandalas c:
"madhyamaka or tathagatagarbha?" When i was my most immersed in study i tended toward Fazang's synthesis
Hi Georgia the cat, my friends call me Tiffany ¬

@hjh hmmm.... these answers I like. :0 fazang is the Indra's net guy right?? its fascinating how he gets "the microcosm is the macrocosm" from such a different epistemo/ontological framework than mine! I really like how he synthesizes the yogacharin mind-only view with dependent origination and the concepts of buddha-nature and the dharmadhatu. of course my belief is that Brahman is pure consciousness and is the self/svabhava AND the all encompassing ultimate reality. I'll check out the sutras you mentioned too! for what most influences me if youre curious check the isha upanishad, the taittiriya upanishad, the tejobindu upanishad (vaishnavite one), and the bhagavad gita ofc. when ive finished my current bout of readings I may have to add to that list... the yoga vasistha seems very promising for instance! oh and I bet you know more about Tibetan buddhism than me, I only know wikipedia level and vaguely about a couple techniques from old PDFs I used to have.
