• Lots of work.
• Have to:
  • [[todo]] review Dan's document
  • [[todo]] fix flancia.org as [[encincovoy]] suggested
  • [[todo]] test Agora howto
  • [[todo]] get back to [[jonathan-the-utopian]]
  • [[todo]] get back to [[mechanical-monk]]: https://twitter.com/mechanicalmonk1/status/1318568421274116100 pull
• Heard [[ken wilber]] in [[budhist geeks]] with [[ryan oelke]]. First three stages of Buddhism are about [[waking up]]
  • First stage/turning of Buddhism: nirvana as the goal. Arhat. [[theravada]].
  • Second stage: nirvana and samsara joined. Non-dual. Bodhisattva. [[Nagarjuna]]. [[mahayana]
    • [[some rinpoche]]: The Bodhisattva vow is not about putting off enlightenment really; you need to know the destination to help others get it. The real point is to just not enter Nirvana and leave Samsara behind; rather to stay in a unified state to serve as a bridge.
  • Third stage accepts the second stage. Buddha nature is a wisdom mind, it is always present. Explores mind states more thoroughly. [[vajrana]].
    • [[kundalini]], "[[energy currents]]", etc. all come in here?
    • The body is a pathway to the spiritual. [[tantra]].
  • Fourth turning: about [[growing up]] (e.g. [[Piaget]], [[Kegan]]) and [[cleaning up]] (psychotherapy?).
