We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily" by Perplexity, we explore a big advancement in black hole imaging and delve into the history of the world's oldest dated printed book. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has achieved a remarkable feat by introducing "color vision" to their observations of supermassive black holes. By incorporating a new radio frequency of 345 GHz alongside the existing 230 GHz, scientists can now produce sharper, more detailed images, offering unprecedented clarity in visualizing these cosmic giants. This dual-frequency approach is expected to increase image detail by an impressive 50%, allowing researchers to better differentiate between the effects of Einstein's gravity and other phenomena near black holes.We then journey back in time to explore the Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist text printed in 868 CE that holds the distinction of being the world's oldest known dated printed book. Discovered in 1900 in China's Mogao Caves, this 16-foot-long scroll predates the Gutenberg Bible by nearly six centuries. Created using woodblock printing, the Diamond Sutra represents a pivotal moment in the history of information dissemination, showcasing the advanced state of printing technology in 9th century China. Its colophon, which precisely dates its production, provides crucial evidence for understanding the timeline of printing technology development.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/telescope-shows-black-holes-in-Rw6Pn5JnQnOznJxuapBCLwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-world-s-oldest-printed-boo-rIR81on4RhKLPnFLoG1YTwPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

The Right Wing Dharma Squads discuss the different categories of Buddhist texts

I argue that modern “mindfulness” corresponds pretty closely to ‘samādhi' in the early Buddhist texts. (9/16/2022)

In this conversation, Ajahn Kovilo and Ven. Nisabho discuss how the practice of austerity (intentionally simplifying one's life and facing discomfort strategically) can paradoxically nurture joy. See for example: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an10/an10.094.than.html

Here we are, at part six of our deep dive into Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy. We're over halfway done! I know it's been a weird ride, but hold on, because we haven't gotten to the strangest stuff yet. At this point in our exploration, we have developed a strong idea of Agrippa's world and some of the basic premises of Occult Philosophy. We have looked at history, the nature of light and the cosmos, and the mathematical underpinnings of Renaissance magic. Now it is time to finally explore one of the strangest and most exciting elements in Occult Philosophy: spirits! Discussion of spirits occurs throughout this enormous work, but if you want some reading to get into before listening to this episode, first re-read book 2, chapter 22, and then read book 2, chapters 55 through 57. Daemons, daimones, angels, demons, and intelligences—these are all words that describe spirits. Sometimes they are various categories of spirits, other times they are words for "spirit" in another language. From time to time, even the gods are referred to as spirits. In this episode, we explore why that is, and maybe we even look at some ideas surrounding how you can communicate with them. I warned you that we hadn't gotten to the strangest stuff yet!

Episode Notes Dr. Christopher Beckwith Joins us to discuss his book “Greek Buddha: Pyrrho's Encounter with Early Buddhism” which examines links between very early Buddhism and the philosophy of Pyrrho, an ancient Greek philosopher who accompanied Alexander the Great on his Indian campaign. We also discuss the role of Scythians and Prince Gautama's lineage, Zoroastrianism and it's involvement in a rethink of the Buddha's rebellion against Brahmanism - and much much more that will leave you questioning everything you thought about this time period, and Buddhism itself as a philosophical movement.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Maria Heim about her beginnings as a scholar of classical South Asia, the role of commentaries in Buddhism, and the importance of emotions to the Buddhist path. We also preview her upcoming online course, BSO 202 | Visuddhimagga: The Path of Purification, which will focus on this important Theravada text written by Buddhaghosa in the 5th century and cherished by Buddhists ever since. We discuss Buddhaghosa's theory of the Buddha's speech as endlessly meaningful, and what that means for how we might read Buddhist texts ourselves. Speaker BioDr. Maria Heim is George Lyman Crosby 1896 & Stanley Warfield Crosby Professor in Religion at Amherst College.  She received her PhD from Harvard University in 1999, and was honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005.

In this course, we read and analyze the short Buddha text, The Sutra Teaching the Four Factors while explaining the underlying meanings and context surrounding the teaching.This is a very important Buddhist text for sincere practitioners because it explains the right way to practice. The teaching of Right Effort is especially important to our study of Buddhism because it highlights how we should address our negative habits and increase our wholesome qualities. As a result, we can find peace of mind that is free from greed, anger, and ignorance, the three poisons that inhibit our spiritual awakening.The Sutra teaching the Four Factors explores four key concepts: How to prevent unwholesome qualities that haven't risen from arising, how to remove unwholesome qualities that have already arisen, how to cultivate wholesome qualities that have yet risen, and how to nurture wholesome qualities that have already arisen. By practicing these teachings in our everyday lives, we can purify all our bad karmas by replacing them with virtuous ones.The course consists of 4 sections: The introduction, the background of the sutra, the reading and analysis of the sutra, and finally the summary of the practice. By structuring the course such wise, we allow you to not only understand the teaching by reading it first hand, but I also provide deep insight into the context, underlying meaning as well as practical steps to incorporating the teachings of Right Effort into an easy-to-understand practice. Best wishes and hope you enjoy the course.Byron Li.

In this audio course, we read and analyze the short Buddha text, The HeartSutra, while explaining the underlying meanings and context surrounding the teaching.This is one of the most popular Buddhist texts and is one of the central texts for the Buddhist School of Emptiness. The teaching of Emptiness is especially important to our study of Buddhism because it highlights the Middle Path, one that refrains from all extremities. As a result, we can find peace of mind that is free from greed, anger, and ignorance, the three poisons that inhibit our spiritual awakening.The Heart Sutra explores four key concepts: The underlying essence of emptiness and how not to attach to it, the sense of self one experiences through attachment to the five skandhas, the emptiness of all the Buddhist teachings so as not to attach to them, and the state of Buddhahood as the ultimate liberation. By practicing these teachings in our everyday lives, we can free ourselves from suffering associated with a strong attachment to ego, false thoughts, and impulsive actions.The course consists of 4 sections: The introduction, the background of the sutra, the reading and analysis of the sutra, and finally the summary of the practice.By structuring the course such wise, we allow you to not only understand the teaching by reading it first hand, but I also provide deep insight into the context, underlying meaning as well as practical steps to incorporating the teachings of Emptiness into an easy-to-understand practice. Best wishes and hope you enjoy the course.Byron Li.

In this Audio Course, we read and analyze the entire Buddha text, The Sutra on Amitabha Buddha, while explaining the underlying meanings and context surrounding the teaching. This is one of the most popular Buddhist texts and is one of the central texts for the Pure Land school.The Pure Land Practice is about reciting the Buddha's name, Amitabha or Amitayus, in the hope to achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Utmost Bliss. It is said to be the simplest practice in Buddhism to attain the highest supreme Enlightenment of Buddhahood.However, despite its simplicity, a practitioner must still have a strong understanding of the Sutra as well as a deep faith in the teaching and practice in order to achieve the ultimate goal of a Pure Land rebirth.The course consists of 4 sections: The introduction, the background of the sutra, the reading and analysis of the sutra, and finally the summary of the practice.By structuring the course like such, we allow one to not only understand the teaching by reading it first hand, but we also provide deep insight into the context, underlying meaning as well as practical steps in incorporating the Pure Land practice into an easy-to-understand practice. Best wishes and hope you enjoy the course.Amitabha.Byron Li.
