No Age Ontology - The ‘Mind Only’ doctrine in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition

from No Age Ontology - Max Corradi · host Max Corradi

In another school of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition we find a particular doctrine called ‘Mind Only’ (Chittamatra) or ‘The Doctrine of Consciousness’ (Vijnanavada). The ‘Mind Only’ tenet system asserts that there are no such things as external phenomena. According to the Buddhist ‘Doctrine of Consciousness’, which is founded upon the Buddha’s statement: “All three worlds are Mind only" and it is expressed mainly in Buddhist scriptures like the ‘Lankavatara’ and ‘Dasabhumika’ Sutra, mind as a ‘non-dual and self-aware consciousness’, is an Absolute Reality. According to the ‘Mind Only’ philosophical school of thought, when we see a table, the visual form of the table that we see does not exist separately from the visual consciousness to which it appears. When several people see a table at the same time, each person is experiencing the ripening of tendencies (karmic seeds) of collective karma on his or her own mental continuum. It is not that each person is seeing a common table, nevertheless, the table is findable, and everyone can point to the same table, in terms of what each person is experiencing.
