The Five Eyes of Buddhism

Here are the notes relating to our latest Mindfulness Exercise, "Loving Eyes".

THE FIVE EYES

Five Eyes
1) heavenly eye, 2) flesh-eye, 3) Dharma-eye, 4) wisdom-eye, 5) Buddha-eye.

Those five non-corporeal 'eyes' are possessed by Buddhas and other enlightened beings. They can also begin to function to varying degrees in people who are not enlightened but are cultivating or who have cultivated in past lives.

New Study Tool

I've just come across the excellent site, Dharma Study, "finding our way through the Buddha’s words". I have put a permanent link to it under STUDY TOOLS.

Each week, they post and discuss one discourse from the Pali Canon, the oldest and most probably authentic collection of the Buddha’s teachings.

The sites' author is Richard Blumberg.
