TIBETAN-BUDDHIST CHEAT
SHEET: (Gelugpa School)
{By Simo The Finlandized-
© 2020 CE}
=======================≠==
Preface: The Following Content
Is In Regard For Explaining The
Various Core Tenets Of The
Gelugpa School Of
Tibetan-Buddhism In Simple
Comprehensive Terminology.
Enjoy Your Enlightenment.
==========================
THE GELUGPA SCHOOL OF TIBET:
=========================
The Gelugpa ("Way of Virtue")
School of Tibetan Buddhism
was originally a reformist
movement and is known for its
rather high emphasis on the
faculties of logic and debate
to determine what is full truth.
The order was founded in the
14th to 15th centuries CE by a
Tibetan-Buddhist religious
leader & philosopher
named Je Tsongkhapa,
renowned for both his
great scholarship and great
virtue. He was a
prominent supporter
of the Madhyamika
(universal-emptiness)
philosophy and formalized
the Svatantrika-Prasaṅgika
(philosophical systems
of a blend of logic/rhetoric
/dialectic-based reasoning
on determining what
constitutes as ultimate reality)
distinction. Its spiritual head is
the Ganden Tripa while
its temporal one is the Dalai
Lama. The Dalai Lama is
regarded as the embodiment
of the bodhisattva
Avalokiteśvara. After the civil
war in Tibet during the
17th century and the
Mongol intervention, the
Gelugpa school dominated
Tibetan Buddhism,
and successive Dalai Lamas
outright ruled the land of
Tibet from the mid-17th to
mid-20th centuries CE.
Gelugpa is the youngest but
largest sect of Tibetan
Buddhism. People also call it
the Yellow Sect due
to the hat they wear is of
yellow color. The founder of
Gelugpa is Tsongkhapa, a
great Tibetan-Buddhist master.
The discipline of Gelugpa is
very strict: followers could not
get married, could not eat
meat, could not drink alcoholic
beverages, & elsewhat, in
addition to the
already-comprehensive
Buddhist Five Precepts (no
killing, stealing, sexual
misconduct, false/idle/harsh
speech, or mental intoxicants).
Its primary tantras-of-focus are
the Guhyasamaja Tantra,
Cakrasamvara Tantra, & the
Kalacakra Tantra; it also
advocates a life dedicated to
virtuous monasticism & strict
Tibetan-Buddhist principles
(vinaya; monastic discipline) as
the primary mode of attaining
Enlightenment within this
lifetime, as it positively does for
pursuing the Bodhisattva Path
(Enlightenment to ultimately
liberate thyself but hold back
from complete Buddhahood till
all sentient beings can be saved
as a grand gesture of universal
compassion), universally
common in many East Asian
Buddhist Schools. Most of the
famous monasteries in Tibet
adhere to the Gelugpa School,
such as the Ganden, Drepung,
& Sera Monasteries in Lhasa,
and Tashilhunpo Monastery in
Shigatse.
=========================
On Philosophy &
The Humanities: (2020 CE)
=========================
PREFACE:
This Treatise Is About The
Core Tenets Of Basic
Philosophy & The Humanities.
Please Read With An Intuitive
Mind.
=========================
PHILOSOPHY:
=========================
Philosophy Is The Study Of
General & Fundamental
Questions About Existence,
Knowledge, Values, Reasoning,
Mind, & Language. Such
Questions Are Posed As
Problems To Be Studied Or
Resolved. Methods To Uncover
Philosophical Truth Include
Questioning, Critical
Discussion, Rational Argument,
& Systematic Representation.
There Are 3 Main
Subcategories Of Philosophy;
Natural Philosophy (Science),
Moral Philosophy (Ethics),
& Metaphysical Philosophy
(Logical Reasoning).
Philosophies Are All Valid So
Long As Their Tenets Can Be
Repetitively Backed Up By Valid
& Logical Evidence, But None
Are Right Or Wrong, Just Ideas.
All That Is Needed To Create A
Philosophy Is To Take A
Pressing "Classic" Question &
Try To Answer It To The Best
Abilities Within Philosophical
Methodology. There's No Right
Or Wrong, Only Validity, In This
Case. Just Answer
To The Best Of Your Ability!
=======================≠=
IDEAS TO REFLECT UPON &
CONSIDER:
==================≠==≠===
Nature Of Truth & Falsehood;
Nature Of Reality;
The Best Way To Live;
The Just/Unjust Question;
Free Will; Nature Of Being;
Limits & Validities Of
Knowledge; Government;
Use Of Science & Technology;
& Endlessly Many More To
Ponder.
=========================
DIALECTIC:
=========================
Dialectic Is The Process Of
Eliciting The Truth By Means Of
Questions Aimed At Opening
What Is Already Implicitly
Known, Or At Least Exposing
The Possible Contradictions &
Muddles Of An Opponent's
Position. Opposing Arguments
Improve Upon Each Other,
And The Prevailing Opinion Is
Shaped By The Synthesis Of
Many Conflicting Ideas Over
Time. Each New Idea Exposes
A Flaw In Accepted Models &
The Epistemological Substance
Of The Debate Continuously
Approaches The Greater Truth.
=========================
RHETORIC:
=========================
In Rhetoric, The Art Of
Persuasion, There Are Three
Appeals To Persuade
(Ethos - Appeal To Speaker's
Character; Pathos - Appeal To
Audience's Emotion; Logos -
Appeal To Logic & Reasoning),
Three Genres Of Persuasive
Speech (Ceremonial Speech In
Praise Or Folly, Judicial
Speeches Over Guiltiness Or
Not, & Deliberative Speeches
Over Doing Or Not),
& Two Types Of Rhetorical
Proofs (Proof By Logic &
Proof By Example).
================≠======≠=
LOGIC:
=========================
In Logic, There Are 4 Types Of
Logical Statements:
- "A" (All S Are P),
- "E" (All S Are Not P),
- "I" (Some S Are P),
- "O" (Some S Are Not P).
Called Syllogisms, You Can Use
Them To Evaluate What Is
Already Known By Brute Logic
To Discover New Truths &
Constants.
==================≠======
HOW TO MEDITATE:
=========================
Meditation Is A Quintessential
Practice That All Buddhists
Utilize In Order To Advance
In Their Spiritual Lives. While
Most People Use Meditation As
A Mental Detox To Cleanse The
Mind Of Unnecessary Stress &
Pressure, Buddhist
Practitioners Use It Not Only
For That, But Also To Reflect &
Gain Wisdom-Knowledge,
Cultivate Merits & Wholesome
Qualities, & Eventually
Transcend Themselves Into
Nirvana. Here's A Guide On
How To Practice Basic
Meditation; Once Mastered,
You May Try To Reflect On
Your Mind/ Body/Speech's
Activity To Gain The
Aforementioned Treasures.
Anyway, Let's Try It Out!
=========================
Step 1) Get Into A Comfortable
Position, Whereitbe Sitting,
Standing, Or Lying Down.
=========================
Step 2) Close Eyes & Start
Breathing Slowly & Gradually
More Deeply.
==========================
Step 3) Maintain A Constant &
Regular Deep-Breathing Rate
/ Pattern.
=========================
Step 4) Focus Solely On The
Breathing (Such As The Rise &
Fall Of The Chest Whilst Doing
It).
=========================
Step 5) Clear The Mind & Relax
In Bliss For The Mental Detox.
For Prolonged Meditation,
You May Begin Contemplating
About A Certain Topic
To Enhance Your Internal
Reflection.
=========================
