- “CONCEPTION” - . As The Main Obstruction To Be Relinquished, Has The Basic Sense Of “constructing”

- “CONCEPTION” - . As the main obstruction to be relinquished, has the basic sense of “constructing” “forming” “manufacturing” or, “inventing.” Thus in terms of mind, they mean “creating in the mind”, forming in the “imagination,” and even “assuming to be real,” “feigning,” and “fiction.” Fundamentally, these terms refer to the continuous constructive yet deluded activity of the mind that never tires of producing all kinds of dualistic appearances and experiences, thus literally building its own world. . A concept is something conceived in the mind: Thought, Idea, Notion. About “conceive”, Webster dictionary says; ‘to take into one’s mind… To form in one’s mind… To evolve mentally… IMAGINE, VISUALISE. This meaning of deluded mental activity is particularly highlighted by the classical Yogãcãra terms “false imagination” and “the imaginary,” the latter being everything that appears as the division into Subject and Object that is produced by false imagination. . In a more general sense, “imagination” and “concept” are equivalent, which is also what Nãgãjuna’s Cittavajrastava (verse 5) means: ’[For] the mind that has given up imagination, Samsãra impregnated by imagination Is nothing but an imagination — The lack of imagination is Liberation.’ . Obviously, this does not mean that samsãra is nothing but conceptual thinking or that mere lack of thinking is nirvana. False imagination is threefold — 1st) consisting of mere appearance, under the sway of latent tendencies, of apprehender and apprahdended being different; 2nd) those that have aspects of coarse states of mind; 3rd) is clinging to reference through following names, false views, conventional reality. . Thus, conceptions about “Apprehender and "Apprehended” in all their coarse and subtle degrees represent the cognitive obstructions to be relinquished throughout the Path of preparation, seeing, and familiarisation of these CONCEPTS. . #Buddha #Buddhism #dharma #wisdom #Knowledge #Enlightenment #awakening #Consciousness #meditation #meditator #namaste #yogalife #Spiritual #peace #illusion #happiness #mental #alchemy #loveandlight #goodvibrations #positvevibes #blogger #sunday #concept #art #health
