Обзор по идимам «Великого комментария» Мастера Камалашилы к «Сутре Алмазного огранщика», занятие 23

[Speaker 1]
Buddha starts to get into the Three Jewels, Sambao, and for example, he talks about the Dharma Jewel, okay, and about protection, okay, about protection. So normal Dharma Jewel, okay, is what? Books, videos, audios, online stuff, okay?

Jinkanjin, Diamond Cutter Sutra, Kamalashila's commentary, Geshe-la's comments on it, these are all physical Dharma, but they're not the real Dharma, and they're not what protect you. What's the real Dharma? Understanding of emptiness, seeing emptiness directly, okay?

We call them both Dharma Jewel, but it's seeing emptiness directly, it's the real Dharma Jewel, okay? You guys know this, it comes in Kamalashila, okay? And the real protection is that, alright?

[Speaker 2]
Why did I choose this picture for Dharma Jewel? Hopefully two things are going on. Yeah, good, he's reading the book and understanding.

I tried to find someone whose face looked like they were paying attention to the book, and they were learning something from the book, okay?

[Speaker 1]
What he's understanding from the book is the real Dharma, right? And the book is what we call physical Dharma, okay? What's a very common place where this is discussed, this difference?

I'll give you a clue, it's sad, very sad. Yeah, last lines of the Abhidharmakosha, and Vasubandhu says, the Dharma will die in this world, the Dharma will die. It's depressing, okay?

Last lines of the Abhidharmakosha. Which Dharma will die first? Ideas, the ideas will die first, and the ACIP database will still be there, but nobody will understand it, okay?

The bytes of data will still be online, but nobody will be meditating on them, okay? So, he predicts that. How long will it take?

Five sets of 500 years. Five sets of 500 years. We're going to talk about the last set, let's go to the next one.
