How did master Dharmakirti answer him. I'm the greatest.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, talk to me about it. And by the way, what's the Tibetan word for sponsor here. Patron sponsor.

Yeah, it is. Yeah, what did he say what were the categories, it's definitely true he said he's the greatest. What else did he say.

[Speaker 1]
He's a master Dignaga is the greatest master of wisdom.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah. Uh huh.

[Speaker 1]
And he said if you want the greatest master of. I'm gonna need some help here.

[Speaker 2]
Obvious to me I just happened to have been in my class and I was there and I'm trying to rely on memory which is never great.

[Speaker 1]
I wouldn't have known the others was one of them but not like morality.

[Speaker 2]
Anyone else want to use their, their notes. It's okay. Cool.

[Speaker 3]
Master of grammar and stuff but that's not what you're looking for.

[Speaker 2]
That probably is. Yeah, Chandra go me, and then shorter I'm going with shorter which was as far as we can get there's a poet apparently. Guess what I'm named.

Are you sure. And I put notes to you in the text so when you get it from me you'll get my attempts to guess that that he's the one. Sometimes, even maybe an alternate name for us for Gosha.

[Speaker 1]
I believe so. I believe so.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah. Okay.

[Speaker 1]
All right, so maybe so awesome for it.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, Master prosperity, you okay. But yeah, if you want the greatest of them all in any direction. You're looking at a baby.

Yeah, who if not me. Right. Cool.

How are master Dharmakirti's works received in his time, and how did he explain his feelings about that matter.

[Speaker 1]
They, they weren't understood, and people got jealous, and then they tie them to dogs, and they ran around India with them and he was like, that's great. This is the best advertisement ever.

[Speaker 2]
Totally. Great. And then we're gonna, we're going to work on that with the Diamond Cutter Press soon is going to send an army of dogs throughout the lands tied to their tails.

Great. What does that mean.

[Speaker 3]
That means to the dog.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Fun. All right, cool. Um, do do do do what sentiment does Master Dharmakirti express about the fate of his work in the opening lines of the commentary on accurate perception.

[Speaker 3]
Talked about how people are really interested in things like Super Bowl games and movies and stuff and they don't aspire to reading classics. Yeah, but, and they have a lot of jealousy. And I don't think I really don't have the thought that this book is going to be a help to them.

But I just want to get my own mind to be familiar with it.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, right, exactly right. Yeah, wonderful.

Cool. I didn't. I didn't get a proper assignment boss so I took the next piece because it was easy.

Oh, I can hear. And then I've got faces over so I'm gonna. Here we go, something like that.

Yeah, good. This che dak du means, now we're going to focus in on one of those books of logic. You see what I mean.

Oh, yeah, that's it. And then the word gap is often added on the name of the Pramana word.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, great. Okay, so here's the fourth section, right, in which we were going to narrow in on one of those hundred books we just narrow in on that's nice. All right, cool.

Okay. Yeah, all right, great. I'm going to stop sharing and I'm going to give you the plan.

[Speaker 1]

[Speaker 1]
All right, all right, all right.

You must have good karma because you didn't do any of it. Okay, okay, if you're sensitive, Dambu here means reeds, okay? And it's related to the word dam meaning swamp, okay?

[Speaker 2]
Paro to Simba. I mean, he went to the far side of the ocean of schools, of philosophical systems of ours and others.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, good. Yep. This is the same as Paro to Simba.

Why didn't he say Paro to Simba?

[Speaker 2]
Oh, past tense?

[Speaker 1]
No. Past tense.

[Speaker 2]
Oh. Oh, he's getting other people there?

[Speaker 1]
No. It's honorific. It's polite.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, that's nice.

[Speaker 1]
He crossed the ocean of ours and other schools.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
And then, that's sort of a comma. He's a dhagmi chenpo.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, a mahatma. Quite the deity.

[Speaker 1]
His chungyul was in the hojok of Geogra.

[Speaker 2]
His chungyul... Birth country. Birth place.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. The place of his birth is in the south of India. It's a chonk here.

[Speaker 2]
It's... Yeah, this far.

[Speaker 1]
A city.

[Speaker 2]
A city.

[Speaker 1]
It's a city called Sengebhagta, and I want you to try to find it, okay?

[Speaker 2]
Oh, got it. Sengebhagta. Try to find Sengebhagta.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. It could be Senghabhagta or something. You see what I mean?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah. Something lion-y.

[Speaker 1]
And that's part of Kanchi.

[Speaker 2]
That's...

[Speaker 1]
Sorry, it's close to Kanchi.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, it's near there?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and Kanchi is still there. It's part of Tamil Nadu.

[Speaker 2]
It's near the land of Kanchipuram.

[Speaker 1]
And he tuned his coo in the rick of the Tamsins.

[Speaker 2]
He deigned to take his holy birth in the land of the Brahmins.

[Speaker 1]
Riksu.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, as a Brahmin.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, in the castle. In the castle. Okay.

Christina Casica wants to check in now. Eat him up! Eat him up!

[Speaker 2]
Hello. My name is Chukpe Chukchane. I am 32 years old.

I am from Songchen, Cambodia. I am a teacher. I have been teaching for 21 years.

My name is Chukpe Chukchane. I am 32 years old. I am from Songchen, Cambodia.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, here we go. Peltier means most people, it seems most likely, okay? It's likely that he was born in the juke of the Tudav Chukpa.

And Tudav means a century.

[Speaker 2]
Beginning of the 6th century?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and this is where you see the beginning of cultural pollution. Up until 1980 or something, you don't see Western references in Tibetan literature.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, so beginning of the century, he means our 6th century.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and I got to tell you a story. I went to Varanasi looking for a Sanskrit scholar who was better than my Princeton scholar. I met the greatest one in Varanasi.

I took some classes from him, and we got to a phrase about the ruru deer, which is very dear to my heart. I asked him, what's a ruru deer? He said, well, I checked, and it's this special kind of small deer with brown skin.

I said, wow, thanks, I've been wondering about that since forever. He said, yeah, I just checked Monier Williams.

[Speaker 2]
Bummer.

[Speaker 1]
I was like, you know, that's where it's at. They're using books written by Westerners to figure out Sanskrit.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, that's not right.

[Speaker 1]
Anyway, here it goes. Or you could say maybe it was at the go of the durab dumba.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, or it might have been, oh, at the end of the 7th century?

[Speaker 1]
In the opening of the 7th century.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, the opening. Didn't we have... oh, Djuk was the end then?

[Speaker 1]
It was the closing of the 6th century, yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, Djuk Tsam is the...

[Speaker 1]
It seems like people pinpoint his birth as somewhere at the end of the 6th century or the beginning of the 7th century. Okay.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, so around about the time of the Tibetan King Tsongkhapa.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah. Now, he starts using verbs for reporting.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah. There are, you know, you do hear people say this, or there are reports.

[Speaker 1]
That he lived during the time of the Tibetan King Tsongkhapa, okay?

[Speaker 2]
Right.

[Speaker 1]
And you also... people also say...

[Speaker 2]
People also say that he was born at the time... was present at the time of...

[Speaker 1]
Djuk Tsam means contemporary.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, was it contemporary? Oh, interesting.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah, okay.

[Speaker 2]
Of the... well, Master Vasubandhu and...

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and the Tibetan King Svatothorti, okay? Svatothorti. And I went and got the...

here's the dates. Wiki says 480 to 540. I think that's correct.

Here's Svatothorti, okay?

[Speaker 2]
We're going to... So he's, you know, we're going to let him report how he reports, right? Like, what do we...

we'll just footnote it and say...

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah. I don't think there's much to say. But the dates seem to work out, yeah.

And here's a long biography of Tsongkhapa if you're interested. But let's start here. Please read, and Seiji Arau wants to check you.

[Speaker 2]
Chogy Lambo... Yeah, so Chogy Lambo... Naga was...

what, like really was? Was a direct disciple.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, direct disciple of...

[Speaker 2]
Of Master Vasubandhu.

[Speaker 1]

[Speaker 2]
Oh, kun gyi she. Oh, people say?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, everybody is in agreement.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, everyone says it. Okay, everyone agrees. Cool.

[Speaker 1]
He was a direct disciple of Vasubandhu. When he was a chuladru, we had this before.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, when he was a little guy.

[Speaker 1]
When he was a little guy.

[Speaker 2]
He was born into the Brahmin caste.

[Speaker 1]
No, rik che.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, rik che. Oh, like the Vedas?

[Speaker 1]

He jang the rik che's of the Brahmins.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, he practiced the Vedas of the Brahmins, in the non-Buddhist systems.

[Speaker 1]
And all the duptas of the mudekpas.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah, right. All the philosophical beliefs of the non-Buddhists.

[Speaker 1]
And pul tu chen means pun samsokpa, same thing.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, he did it real nice too.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, he became... to perfection. Oh, okay.

Okay, who's next? Alex, the three of us, let's go. Hey, Alex, I was sitting in a store with my wife and Elvis Presley came on.

Take my life. Anyway, it was pretty good for Valentine's Day. Did you have a question, Nick?

Can jang mean study in that context? Yeah, it does exactly mean that. Yeah, he studied it.

Yeah, exactly, he studied it. He studied both the Vedas and the schools of the non-Buddhists.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah, right.

[Speaker 1]
All right, here we go. Alex is checking you.

[Speaker 2]
Hello, everyone. I am a French teacher. I have been studying for a long time.

I have been studying for a long time. LANG PO RGYUN ZHES PA LAS RAB TU BYUNG ZHING TSEN CHOG KYI LANG POR SO Good, nice.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Oh, cool.

[Speaker 1]
He got sick of. He got sick of. He got sick and tired of korway dunyau.

[Speaker 2]
Sun? Related to like Sun Yipa?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, exactly. Yep.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
And then he gave up his chakpa.

[Speaker 2]
Gave up his desire.

[Speaker 1]
For being a member of the Tamsin rig.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, for being a member of the Brahman caste.

[Speaker 1]
Which is the highest and cushiest caste. Right. And he gave up all his lung chus.

[Speaker 2]
All his great stuff.

[Speaker 1]
And his lob mayi kor.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, and his lob mayi kor. Oh, did he have students in that tradition?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, he already had a lot of students. And he gave them all up. Okay.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
And he got rab tu chung.

[Speaker 2]
And he, yeah, he was ordained.

[Speaker 1]
Into the Buddhism, right? Under the Kempo of the Nema Bupe sect.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, under a Jain teacher.

[Speaker 1]
No, this is one of the 18 groups, I think.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, you're right. I'm sorry, the Nema Bupe. The Nema Bupe of Vatsiputriya's.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yo. And his Kempo was named Nagadatta.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, Nagadatta. Maybe that's helpful, because we made up something maybe above. We weren't so sure.

[Speaker 1]
The Tibetan for which is Longbojin.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, yeah. Longbojin, the what? Giver of elephants?

What?

[Speaker 1]
Gift of the elephants, yeah. By the way, here's a case where Naga is...

[Speaker 2]
The white elephant. Sorry.

[Speaker 1]
This is a case where Naga is translated as Longbo, okay? Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, right.

[Speaker 1]
Interesting. And Dignaga, by the way, the Naga in Dignaga means an elephant, right?

[Speaker 2]
Right, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
And it's the elephant of the eight directions.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, okay.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, good.

[Speaker 2]
Their trunk looks like a snake maybe, right?

[Speaker 1]
I don't know. Okay, but anyway, here's an interesting thing, because his teacher's name is also elephant, and it's Naga. Yeah, right.

Okay. And that probably explains how he got his name actually. So he rubbed the trunk.

[Speaker 2]
We had a different explanation. We've had quite a few possible explanations now.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
He also stated cave.

[Speaker 1]
Sul means granted.

[Speaker 2]
Sorry, sul means? Granted. Oh, granted.

He was granted ordination by?

[Speaker 1]
No, he was granted the Zen Chogya Longbo.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, he was given the name Dignaga.

[Speaker 1]
Yay! Retaining something of his teacher's name, right? Cool, okay, fascinating.

All right, please read. Who else can I pick on? Hasso, let's go!

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Good. He labpa the dena sum in the pigmen.

[Speaker 2]
He studied the three baskets in the lower way.

[Speaker 1]
And he became a kepa.

[Speaker 2]
And became a really smart guy, a master of that study.

[Speaker 1]
Then he requested of his kembo, dom ngak, about how to do la from korwa.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, he asked for special personal advices from his teacher about how to get freedom from samsara, from the cycle of pain.

[Speaker 1]
And then his teacher gave him the following advice. I want you to tsul a dak.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, look for a you, a me, a self.

[Speaker 1]
And I don't want it to be the pumbo de nyi. And I don't want it to be pumbo le shen nyi.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, so it shouldn't be the same as your parts. And it shouldn't be something different from the parts. And you can't even really say what it is.

[Speaker 1]
Good, perfect, yeah. That's the dampa that his teacher give to him.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, that's the dampa, the advice that his teacher gave him.

[Speaker 1]
And his teacher chukpa him to go about it.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess chukpa means instructed, but I don't know the word.

[Speaker 1]
He set him to meditating on it.

[Speaker 2]
He set him about meditating upon that.

[Speaker 1]
And he dembe dak tsel tsel tsel tsel tsel.

[Speaker 2]
And then he tried, just like that, and he looked and he looked and he looked. And manye. Manye, I guess he didn't find it.

[Speaker 1]
He never found manye. All right, good. Hey, how's everyone doing?

Let's get some exercise here.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Okay, good.

[Speaker 1]
GAR KUNG, I don't think you know. I don't know it very well, but it means windows, okay? The old, like shutters, okay?

So he opened all the shutters during the day, okay? And in the tsenmo, he started marmes.

[Speaker 2]
And then he lit butter lamps at night.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, bar means he lit, okay? Bar, he lit to make things light, okay? And not only that, he ended up cher bupa.

[Speaker 2]
Naked.

[Speaker 1]
He took off all his clothes also. And he looked everywhere in the chi and in the nang.

[Speaker 2]
Looked inside and out.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yang yang te.

[Speaker 2]
Over and over.

[Speaker 1]
He looked everywhere. Then mi shen tong him.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, and then no one else saw him.

[Speaker 1]
No one else saw him.

[Speaker 2]
They did see him. Oh, other guys.

[Speaker 1]
And they went and sherpa de to his khenpo langpa je.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, they told his teacher.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, he's acting kooky. Okay. And then the khenpo said to chok lang, de dak je pa chi yin.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, why are you acting like that?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, what are you trying to do? Okay. All right, Xiaoping wants to check you.

I can see she has a headache from these two classes already.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Chok lang gi dak mi lo tsul shik lo dru men be. Khenpo tsen be dak de ni.

Ma tong de de chir jip je ki jip sam yam de chi nang kun tu. Da wa yin shi be.

[Speaker 1]
I must be lo du.

[Speaker 2]
I must be what, du, I must be a dummy?

[Speaker 1]
I must be dull-minded.

[Speaker 2]
Sorry, yeah, I must be dull in absence.

[Speaker 1]
I must be dull-minded, and my lo du must be men be.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, my intelligence must be little.

[Speaker 1]
Because the de ni which the khenpo ten to dak.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, that suchness, that self that the teacher, that was taught by the master.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and this changes the story a little bit from the other version we have, because when I went looking for the dak as described by you, as described by you, ma tong.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, ma tong, I didn't find that one, de ni, that self.

[Speaker 1]
So I started thinking, maybe I'm jip je ki jip.

[Speaker 2]
Maybe I'm just, yeah, full of obstruction, impurity.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, I must be, I thought I must be shrouded by something, so I took off everything, including the lights, and I checked chi dang nang kun la.

[Speaker 2]
And I looked everywhere, inside and out.
