Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present project has elucidated the faculty of mindfulness (Sanskrit: smRti, Tibetan: dran pa) according to the Dzogchen teachings of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. A first paper published in the journal 'Philosophy East and West' (then translated in Japanese and published in a collective book) has clarified the role of mindfulness according to Longchenpa (1308-1364), the great systematizer of Dzogchen teachings. A second paper just accepted in the journal 'Religions' has clarified the typology of mindfulness according to Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798). Jigme Lingpa distinguishes an effortful mindfulness and a nondual type of mindfulness. The second type is the "distinctive mindfulness of Dzogchen" and it is inseparable from pure awareness (rig pa). A third paper published in the journal 'Asian Philosophy'(also translated in Japanese and published in a collective book) has systematized all those findings for a wider audience and in relation with the Buddhist model of wisdom.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

This project has contributed to a better understanding by academia and society of the faculty of mindfulness, by focusing on the Dzogchen tradition. It has clarified its role according to the scholastic synthesis of Longchenpa, and has presented new and very interesting materials by Jigme Lingpa.
