John Dunne: Unsaying, Not Knowing, and Pointing at the Moon: Language and Non-dual Practice (Part 2 of 8)

Summary: Episode Description: In the second session of this program, John Dunne leads a guided meditation. He then begins to explore the Yogācāra school of philosophy, also known as the perspective of the “third turning of the wheel.” Dunne says that the issue that is being picked up in Yogācāra is the question of: “what is it like to know emptiness? If we can’t articulate what we’re knowing, how does that count as knowledge?” He then describes that the Yogācāra point of view is that “as soon as we articulate something as ‘I know that,’ we are already dualistic–and dualism is the problem.”<br> To help keep these podcasts freely available, we hope you will consider making a suggested donation of $25 to our <a title="Give to Upaya's Dharma Podcast Fund" href="https://www.upaya.org/give/fund.php?id=10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dharma Podcast Fund</a>.<br> <br> For Series description, please visit <a title="Part 1" href="https://www.upaya.org/2018/03/dunne-language-nondual-practice-1-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Part 1</a>.<br> To access the entire series, please click on the link below:<br><br> <a title="John Dunne Upaya Podcast Series: Language and Non-dual Practice" href="https://www.upaya.org/2018/04/dunne-language-nondual-practice-series-8-parts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">John Dunne Upaya Podcast Series: Language and Non-dual Practice</a><br>
