How Delusions Arise
|
with Jon Landaw
Saturday, November 2: 10:30am-12:30pm This is a part of "The Life and Legacy of Lama Tsongkhapa" presented by Tse Chen Ling. In his Great Treatise, Lama Tsongkhapa emphasizes that although karma and the afflictions are both necessary as causes for the creation of samsaric suffering, it is the afflictions—also known as the delusions—that are primary. For this reason, he states that “it is very important to rely on a remedy for the afflictions.” And because the application of this remedy requires us to become as knowledgeable as we can about the afflictions, he analyzes them in great detail. Included within this analysis are six items — referred to in outline simply as basis, object, social context, explanation, habituation and attention — enumerated as the six factors causing these suffering-producing afflictions to arise in us. |
