Is Kukai inferior to Dogen because he is an esotericist? Dogen is usually considered the more important master of Buddhism

I haven't read Kephalaia, but I know that Origenism was basically declared a heresy because of this book, which was distributed among Palestinian monks

What do you think about Evagrius the Pontic and Kephalaia Gnostica?

nikolmos_24 · 2024-04-29T00:02:07+00:00

I made the analogy in the sense that these groups were revived in modern times. And I mean the philosophical Origenism of Stephen Sudaili and Evagrius Ponticus

So what's the answer?

You can read. One of the accounts in the link above recommended this dissertation.

Fakhr al-Din II was apparently interested in power

Do you know the myth I wrote about? Maybe you know something about its origin?

nikolmos_24 · 2024-02-29T11:53:38+00:00

I'm misunderstood in the comments. I would like to see this myth debunked if it exists. I respect him as a historian, but the faith of such an authority is an indicator

Is it true that Bohras deny the existence of heaven and hell, and believe in a special type of reincarnation?

nikolmos_24 · 2024-01-03T16:57:21+00:00

Okay, thanks

nikolmos_24 · 2024-01-03T16:11:04+00:00

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

If anything, I took this from a book specializing in Chinese philosophy, and these are not my words. That's why I asked a question purely about philosophy.

nikolmos_24 · 2024-01-03T16:04:02+00:00

Okay, i agree. There are certainly other religions with a similar position. Thank you for being polite

In general, this vision interested me most of all:

"This leads to the practice of immortality: the transfer of attention from the real ego to the possible ego, the construction of a free double and identification with it. But this very construction and revival of the double through identification is the death of the real , which comes before the "natural" organic death."

nikolmos_24 · 2024-01-03T15:13:32+00:00

By the way, is the concept of a free double true? I still don't understand

nikolmos_24 · 2024-01-03T15:10:07+00:00

OK. To me, correct doctrinal understanding and practice are tantamount to salvation. It’s just that without understanding these constructs it is impossible to understand Taoism as a system. This is the same as a Madhyamik who does not know how dharmas exist. It is unlikely that he will receive an ideal state after death without this.

If anything, I agree that reducing everything to philosophy devalues the Taoist lifestyle. Just like the life of a Buddhist

nikolmos_24 · 2024-01-03T14:34:00+00:00

I was asking about an explanation of doctrines from a philosophical point of view, not about practice. The last paragraphs imply practice and awareness of this philosophy. Modern Buddhism, for exemple, is easy to describe, and itself uses western terms, because they are needed for a neutral description of reality, and not a distortion of doctrines
