Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Depends on how you define same. Or how you define different. Jnaneshvar said "I am not different from the buffalo" So I guess it all depends on your perspective, Alexandra. And on whether ultimately it matters at all :-) Love, Joyce ps I love Jnaneshavar :-) http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8107/bios1.html#jnanadeva - Gregory Goode ; Monday, June 28, 2004 9:13 AM Re: Sunyata & Brahman Depends on which form of Buddhism you get the Sunyata teachings from...--GregAt 06:57 AM 6/28/2004 +0000, Alexandra Kafka wrote: The same or not?Alexandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 The advaitin definition of Brahman is the unseen seer, being, consciousness and bliss. By that it is understood not to be in an emotional state, but to lack voidness, ignorance and suffering. Brahman is, even if the universe were not. The Dalai Lama's sect's definition of Sunyata is lack of inherent existence; stated positively, sunyata is interdependence upon 3 kinds of things: (i) a thing's dependence upon causes and conditions, (ii) a thing's dependence upon its own parts, and (iii) a thing's dependence upon being seen by an awareness. The biggest differences between Brahman and sunyata are (i) consciousness or awareness is said to be the nature of Brahman, but it is not said to be the nature of sunyata, and (ii) Brahman is Brahman in the presence of objects or in the absence of objects. Yet sunyata is itself dependent upon objects. It gets more and more complicated from there! --Greg At 11:16 AM 6/28/2004 -0700, alexandra_108 wrote: What I would like to know is if Sunyata and Brahman are two different word for the same concept, or if the concepts are different.
