Training the Mind and Transforming Your World: Moral Phenomenology in the Tibetan Buddhist Lojong Tradition

Comparative and Continental Philosophy September 2, 2018 Jessica Locke 6 citations

Moral phenomenology, as interpreted through Jay Garfield's reading of Buddhist ethics, requires transforming the deep structures of subjectivity that shape experience, not just changing deliberate actions. This makes it an especially ambitious ethical project. The Tibetan Buddhist lojong ("Mind Training") tradition exemplifies such a project by using meditation and contemplation to disrupt habitual, affective responses rooted in conventional experience and replace them with imagined responses of radically compassionate altruism. This process aims to transform the phenomenological structures underlying both ethical action and conscious experience, thereby fulfilling the goal of moral phenomenology.

Meister Eckhart’s Mysticism in Comparison with Zen Buddhism

Comparative and Continental Philosophy May 4, 2022 Ueda Shizuteru Translated By Gregory S. Moss 1 citation

Ueda Shizuteru compares Meister Eckhart's mysticism with Zen Buddhism, highlighting both affinities and irreconcilable differences. Eckhart's concept of the soul's divine birth and breakthrough to the Godhead is analyzed alongside Zen's approach to enlightenment. Ueda argues that despite parallels, Eckhart's mysticism cannot be equated with Zen Buddhism due to their distinct metaphysical and experiential frameworks. The translation preserves the original German pagination for scholarly reference.
