Path to Enlightenment: Five Noble Truths and Beyond
• Video
the five pathway minds (lam-lnga, #five paths), referring to five levels of mind we achieve that serve as pathways leading to #liberation and #enlightenment:
A building up pathway mind (tshogs-lam, path of accumulation), An applying pathway #mind (sbyor-lam, path of preparation), A seeing pathway #mind (mthong-lam, path of seeing), An accustoming pathway mind (sgom-lam, path of #meditation).
A pathway mind needing no further training (mi-slob-lam, path of no more #learning).
Progressively Developing the Five Pathway Minds as a #Shravaka, #Pratyekabuddha, or #Bodhisattva
We may progressively develop the five pathway minds on three different levels, depending on our #motivation and style of #practice.
The first two levels are as #Hinayana practitioners; the third is the #Mahayana level.
Note that in Buddhist terminology, motivation (kun-slong) refers to the mental factor of intention (‘dun-pa) – the intention to reach a certain goal for a certain purpose.
#Bodhisattvas (byang-chub sems-dpa’) strive to achieve enlightenment and the ability to be of as much benefit to all limited beings (sentient beings) as is possible. The motivating factor to reach this goal is called bodhichitta (byang-sems).
Originating from the teachings of the first Buddha, #Siddhartha Gautama, Buddhist meditation is a way for you to train your mind. The practice, essentially, is to help you understand yourself better, tap into your #awareness of the present, and develop qualities like #peace, #kindness, and #wisdom.
