The Re-Cognition of Being 's Infrastructure as Self Completion
Open AccessHerbert V Guenther, Herbert GuentherARTICLEInternational Journal of…2002
Wholeness as indivisible and the human being's connectedness with it are the abiding themes of the Buddhist experience-rooted and process-oriented thinking that goes by the name of rDzogs-chen. From its basically holistic point of view, the human being is a sub-whole, similar to a variation on a musical theme. From another point of view, however, based on the confusion of a compacted (and hence de-compactable) totality with wholeness, the human b…

The Emergence of the Ego/Self Complementarity and Its Beyond
Open AccessHerbert V Guenther, Herbert GuentherARTICLEInternational Journal of…2001
This study traces the emergence of the ego/selfideain Buddhist experience-based and processoriented thinking (rDzogs-chen). This is thinking that is primarily concerned with understanding and less so with establishing and being satisfied with a theoretical system, one that inevitably remains reductionist and, for this reason, fails to explain or make sense of what matters most to any living system-such as a human being. Because of its dynamic cha…
Is the Mind in Search o f Itself
Open AccessHerbert V Guenther, Herbert GuentherARTICLEInternational Journal of…2000
The once so comfortable notion of mind being a single and simple entity bas been thoroughly discarded by a variety of disciplines that have probed its mystery. More and more it is realized that mind is an emergent phenomenon in the evolution of which many factors play an important role. In Buddhist experience-rooted and process-oriented thinking (rdzogs-chen) mind is a complex dynamic system, described in mythopoeic images that cannot but deeply …

Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism
Herbert V Guenther, Herbert Guenther et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1995
The crowning cultural achievement of medieval India, Tantric Buddhism is known in the West primarily for the sexual practices of its adherents, who strive to transform erotic passion into spiritual ecstasy. Historians of religion have long held that the enlightenment thus attempted was for men only, and that women in the movement were at best marginal and subordinate and at worst degraded and exploited. Miranda Shaw argues to the contrary, presen…
