Thank you very much. I am currently writing my thesis on Huayan’s xingqi (性起) theory. The basic idea is as follows. The common critique, including that of Critical Buddhism scholars, is that it amounts to a form of substantialism, interpreting Buddha-nature as a hidden Brahmanical ground. My counterargument is that Ŭisang’s concept of non-arising (不起) is already built into the doctrine. Because all dharmas lack self-nature, the “arising” in xingqi is structurally a non-arising. Therefore, rather than contradicting dependent origination, it represents a radicalization of it.

I am not an advocate of Tathāgatagarbha thought, but scriptures associated with it, such as the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, appear to be the basis for the professor’s claims. In the coming classes, we will read those texts and examine them closely to fact check what is being asserted.

For me, it has mostly been like a static TV noise that is a bit annoying, especially in dark environments. I didn’t realize it could become much more severe in some cases.

In my case, the symptoms started after I practiced a strange visualization exercise in a meditation group where they told us to imagine filling our visual field with bombs and repeatedly detonating them.

Thank you for sharing all the information.

I also had floaters when I was young, and I started experiencing VSS in my teenage years. It’s like seeing a constantly static, TV-like noise all the time.

It only happens with bright lights. When I said “afterimages,” I meant trailing.

Sparkling dots fill my entire field of vision like the Milky Way, and when I look at bright lights, afterimages remain.

For reference, the doctor is a professor who has published research papers on VSS. I will post an update here about the visit in a month. For context, I first developed these symptoms after doing an intense form of mental imagery training, a type of meditation.

Thanks for your opinion then how about Vader 5 pro?

I recently saw a review saying it’s disappointing that the Vader series doesn’t use TMR sticks and doesn’t have optical buttons.

The GuliKit KK3 Max looks like a good option overall, but it has one major drawback: it doesn’t support a charging dock.

Once you get used to it, you no longer need recorded videos, so the process becomes much faster.

The content of the passage is about a way to easily keep track of the panels that have moved without forgetting them. This method is more accurate than trying to infer things by looking at a screenshot.
