| Outline of Research at the Start |
By taking the notion of mindfulness as a thread connecting the different levels of Buddhist teachings into a coherent path, the ultimate objective is to shed new lights on mindfulness for Buddhist philosophy as a whole. Special consideration will be given to the key question of self-awareness.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I have published a monograph on rNying ma author 'Phreng po gter ston Shes rab 'od zer, have submitted three research articles, gave a guest lecture at Hamburg University (invited by Michael Zimmermann) on the present project, and organized a workshop at Kyoto University on mindfulness. The most important article has been on the typology of mindfulness according to 'Jigs med gling pa. Then the second article has been more interdisciplinary, in dialogue with cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and education. The third article dealt with the Japanese philosophical reception rDzogs chen.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The project has advanced considerably. But I have rather changed the initial order of publications. Initially, I was considering to work on 'Jigs med gling pa's advice texts in the third year. But I eventually realized that these texts were most important as offering the best synthesis on the Tibetan Buddhist rNying ma doctrine of mindfulness. Especially, this author distinguished two types of mindfulness, effortful or conditionned, and effortless or open awareness. His Tibetan texts that I have edited, translated, and analyzed this year in one research article offers thus the ideal foundation for the next three years of this project. Moreover, I have been able to investigate further this philosophical psychology of attention and awareness in a second article, more interdisciplinary.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I will continue to implement the submitted research plan, including the publications of new articles on the Tibetan Buddhist rNying ma philosophy of mindfulness, with reference to the Abhidharma, to the literature of the Transcendent Virtue of Wisdom, to tantra, to Dzogchen, especially the Mind Series (Sems sde) and the "Breakfree" (khregs chod) practice of the Instructions Series (Man ngag sde). This shall in the end all be compiled in a book. But as this project has been advancing well, I have decided to publish as well another book, a more philosophical essay that can summarize the main findings of this research project for a larger audience in Buddhist studies, philosophy, and psychology of mindfulness. I wish also to gather all the instructions of 'Jigs med gling pa in a small book.
